CPL Richard A Bachman (Ret)
April 11, 2026

CPL Richard Bachman Sr. (Ret) Scranton Police Department passed away Saturday, April 11, at Geisinger Medical Center. His fiancée was Jolene Vaskie.

Born in Scranton, he was the son of the late Alfred and Lorraine Shook Bachman, a graduate of North Pocono High School and the first class of Lackawanna College Police Academy. He retired from the Scranton Police Department after 29 years of service and went on to be the zoning officer for Taylor Borough.

He was a USA Hockey official for 20 years, former president of the Wilkes-Barre Jr. Penguins youth hockey organization, and a timekeeper of the AHL Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins for over 15 years. Rich’s life was hockey for his son and now his grandson.

Rich was one of the kindest and most loving people anyone could have met.

Always with a smile and occasionally raising a glass to cheer someone along and say, “How YOU doing”.

In his free time, he enjoyed going on motorcycle rides, traveling, fishing, spoiling his rescue dogs, and going to concerts, especially Barry Manilow. He was the biggest Fanilow, having seen Barry 17 times, and knew just about every word of his songs.

For those who knew him, he will be missed for his bubbly personality and his crazy stories that he repeatedly told. But at the end of the day, he loved and cared about each and everyone that was part of his life.

He also leaves behind his children Richard Bachman Jr. and fiancée Zara-Rose Wharton; Sierra Bachman; the mother of his children Charlene Stanton Bachman; his grandson Connor; brother Joseph, and wife Kimberly Bachman; nieces, nephews and cousins.

He was preceded in death by his brother George Bachman.

Stanley John Zimmer
February 10, 1945 – March 21, 2026

Stanley John Zimmer, a man of remarkable industry and dedication, passed away on March 21, 2026, at the age of 81.

Born on February 10, 1945, Stan was known by all who knew him as a builder, a tinkerer, a fisherman, a chef, and a devoted husband.

A graduate of Forest City High School, Stan’s thirst for knowledge and skill took him to Paul Smith’s College, Bethel University, and Bloomsburg University. His academic pursuits laid the foundation for a lifetime of hands-on work and entrepreneurial success.

In 1980, Stan met the love of his life, Carol. The two were married in March of 1991, beginning a 35-year journey of true partnership. Together, they literally built their life from the ground up—building their own home and tackling countless projects side-by-side. Their professional collaboration was just as strong; in 1995, they opened the Frogtown Inn in Canadensis, which they operated together as a beloved local fixture until their retirement in 2007.

Stan was at his happiest when he was busy. Whether he was working on his Gators and heavy equipment, building something new, or spending time outdoors hunting and fishing, he lived with a tool in his hand and a project on his mind. He was rarely seen without a trusty beagle by his side; his current companion, Jack, will deeply miss his lifelong friend but remains a steady comfort for Carol.

Stan was predeceased by his parents, Eva and Stanley Zimmer, and his siblings: Rita Johnston, Leon Zimmer, Romayne Canalizo, Margaret Tanner, and Mary Kay Logan.

His legacy of hard work and love lives on through his surviving wife, Carol Zimmer; his sister, Evanne Martin; sister-in-law, Jane Zimmer; brother-in-law, Michael (Dianne) Kropp; and many nieces and nephews who admired his grit and capability.

Friends and Family are invited to a celebration of Stan’s life at the French Manor Inn and Spa at a later date.
