My son Jonathan played football with Stanley the past two years and often came home with stories about his leadership, friendship, kindness, and athleticism. My older son graduated with Alex St. Nicholas and we continue to pray for both his family and yours as we grieve this tragic loss in Connetquot. We hope your family finds comfort in the wonderful memories of your son, as you stuggle to make sense of this devastating loss.

To the Hartnett Family,
Words cannot express how saddened we feel for your loss. Stan played travel soccer with our daughter Andrea and I always remembered him being a great goalie. My finest memory is of him taking the time during practices and half time, teaching her brother Chris how to play in the goal. Over the years as he has grown to be a goalie himself, I have always told people that Stan was his teacher. He may never have known the impact he had on a 6-year-old boy back then, but we will never forget. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Dear Rich, Lynn, Kevin, Steven, Butterbean, Andrew and Leeann,
Glenn called me this morning with this most painful, heartbreaking news I have ever had in my life. As I type this, tears are falling as I remember that sweet little blond boy who loved to play video games. One of the biggest regrets I have had to live with since our divorce is losing our friendship and losing my chance to continue to play with the kids and watch them grow up. Please know that my heart and prayers are with you now and always. If there is anything I can possibly help you with, ANYTHING, please call me, (631) 424-2961. Glenn and I have been on speaking terms for a while now. He always talks about Stan and your other children. For me, it's like I saw them yesterday. I'm still crying. Please call me, even if it's just to talk. I'll be there for you. -Cathie

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Harnett and family:
I don't even know what to say because there are never ever any words to justify why something so horrific as this happens. As a parent, my heart aches for you. From what I can see, Stan was an incredible person, who had such a lasting impact on all those around him. My daughter Brooke and many many friends in the group are devastated. He was a great friend to them and will be terribly missed! Hold on tight to your family and your memories for that is what will guide you through during this most horrible time. I'm sure Stan was always one of your angels he just now has wings and will watch over all of you forever!. My heartfelt prayers are with you all.

Stan was a positive influence on my son Hank Hutton. They were on soccer and basketball teams together when they were younger. Hank had alot of respect for him. It was truly an honor to know him.
