Uncle Stanley, I am going thru a bunch of papers that have accumulated here on my desk and i came across your card and i see a HAPPY (belated) BIRHDAY is in order. Your family and friends miss you so much, especially Holly. It breaks my heart that she is going thru all of this without you. She is so strong, you can be so proud of her. I miss you and love you.

Dear Daddy,
Happy 59th Birthday! You are deeply missed by me I still can not figure out why the good die young. There is not a day that goe by that I do not think of you. I know you are in a better place. I wish you were here to help me through this cancer. I look at it either I will be a testimony to God or I will be reunited with you in heaven. I love you so much you were the best father and friend a daughter could ever have. The boy misses you deeply also and your best friend Richy. I love you daddy until we meet again God Bless. It is just not the same with out you here. All I do is cry for you, I can't sleep the pain hurts so bad. I am trying to be strong but it is hard. I went by your house today for the first time since it has been sold. I got all choked up thinking you would be there. I love you daddy, Happy Birthday again. I love you very much and miss you deeply. Love your baby girl Holly and the boy Harley Girl too! She misses her popcicles. She always says pop-pop can you send me some pop-popscicles from the heavens above. Love you daddy always and forever your little girl HAHA

Dear daddy,
It is hard to believe that you will be gone 6 months already it still feels like yesterday seeing you. I am trying to hang in there and get through the holidays without you. It just not the same. Steak bone really misses you, but I took over for you and making sure he's okay. Your boy really misses you he just made the A honor roll again. He talks about you all the time. He always prays to God and tells him to tell you he loves you and deeply missses you. Elizabeth makes fun of me and says I have a shrine of you but it brings me comfort to see that cute face of yours. I could really use one of your bear hugs right know. I just got out of the hospital and got some bad news. But I know you are watching over me. I love you daddy and miss you deeply.
Love always,
Your baby girl Holly (HA-HA) xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

To Holly, Elizabeth, Uncle Marty, Uncle Jack, and my dad Bill:
Im not sure how i did not know this book existed but i am honored to be able to sign it having known Uncle Stanley all my life and looking forward to visits to his house in Mays Landing to have sleep-overs with his girls. I remember his big "Bear Hugs" and his warm smile. I miss you but i know you are up there with my mom looking down on all of us. I look forward to the time that i will see you all again, but not before i am here long enough to gather a thousand stories to tell you when i get there. I guess the pain never really goes away because im crying my eyes out now and its been a few months but i know that it gets easier just knowing your not suffering anymore. God knows better then any of us whats best for us. But atleast now i know i have 1 more Gaurdian Angel watching over me. I love you and miss you terribly. arrrrrrr. LOL!!! Somehow that made me feel better. See ya on the other side. Love Wendy

Daddy,
It is hard to let you go. There is not a day or night i do not cry for you. I am scared. I know you are with the lord and you are still watching over me but it is still so painful. I wish you were still here with me. I will always keep you close in my heart. You were just not the best father in the world but the best friend i could of ever had. Thank you for always being there. I love you so much daddy and miss you. God bless you.
Love you always and forever.
Your baby haha

STAN THE Man .... My first Brother, my First BEST Friend .... I can not quite summon the words to express my feelings ... I have hesitated to write to you, not out of disrespect, but for love, respect and a heart ache that can not be healed at this time ... Stan, you and I have shared all our life together as little kid brothers, to teens with hearts full of adventure... and as men with families, responsibilities, and proud careers... Stan you have been a mentor in Spiritual ways and secular. Even while I carry you in my heart there will be that part of me that longs for and misses your Bear Hug, and strong grip ... You have never failed me my Great Brother Bear, and I hope and pray that I have never let you down ..... I give thanks to the Great Spirit for blessing us with two fine parents, and me with three wonderful Brothers, and You, Stan The Man, as my mentor and guide through life's Journey, .... I pray for Good Medicine from the Great Spirit for all your loved ones, and May all of those whom you love have the Peace of the Wilderness ... Know that these words flow from Heart , to Head, to Hand I love you Brother Bear ... Stan the Man "Keep on rolling with the flow" .... I wish you Fair Winds and following Seas on the rest of your Journey ...I look forward to the time that we can re unite .... I have chores to do here on Mother Earth; I will see your shape in the Clouds, hear your voice and song in the Winds and I will feel your strenth in the Storms and of the Seas ... I know that your Warrior Spirit watches over us and your loving heart will guide us... While these words may stop my voice to you and my prayer to the Great Spirit will be to time indefinite and I shall Honor you Brother Bear Stan the Man ..... Your Brother to eternity John (Winter Lynx) Crazy Jack

i just left stan's service.From the amount of people that were there he was loved by many.He had a way of making everyone feel special. I read somewhere that it is not so much your achievements that you are remembered by but how you make a person feel.He is the most selfless guy I have ever known.I knew Stan would always be there for me with a listening and comforting ear.'Pretty lady'How many of his woman frinds were called this,and did it not make you feel good?What a gentleman,friend,confidant...He was my 'rock of gibralta'How very proud he was of his daughters and pro tecting but yet he never bragged.What a guy!I've known Stan for 15 -20 years and he has accepted me throughout all the ups and downs of my life.His absence can never be replaced but his memories will always live in our hearts.We are all so blessed to have known him

To Stanley's Family: I met Stan and Richey one weekend at Uncle Mike's. My life sould never be the same, because I had acquired two angels who would look after me for the rest of time. They taught me how to ride, after arguing who would take me first on thier bikes. We formed a friendship that lasted well over 20 yrs. I will miss Stanley for a long time, b/c He was the first man to put me on a Harley. But most of all b/c he was a thoughtful and caring man who looked out for everyone. Our friendship grew from riding Harleys to caring about our families. He was a great inspiration to all who knew him. I thank God for bringing him into my life and sharing his legacy with everyone.

Daddy,
I never thought I would have to say goodbye to you this soon. I will always remember the things that you instilled in me: be strong with a gentle hand, be honest no matter what and treasure your close friends because they are the family we choose for ourselves. I find some comfort now in knowing that a part of you lives on in me and Holly and I promise to always make you proud.
I love you and miss you so much hurts - Love, Lizzy

Stan the man-
Thank you for all that you have taught me and meant to me, and the way that you looked out for me when we were growing up. You were always there with a beaming smile and a bear hug whenever I needed a big brother to talk to. Your words: "I'm proud of you, Martin" meant so much to me. I will always feel that the time spent with you was quality time, and I will especially treasure our last couple of lunches together.
I will do my best to look after Mom, in your absence, and your daughters, too. You will be sadly missed but fondly remembered at the "Just the Boys" family reunion in January. You will not be forgotten! THANK YOU for always being a such a positive part of my life. Rrrrrr, I love you big brother, and I miss those Bear Hugs already. Ride like the wind!

To my big brother: I will miss you and your wonderful sense of humor. You will be thought of fondly by me and everyone who knew you. You had a way of brightning my day with a phone call that I never expected. I can't be there to say," Goodbye", so I am sending this message instead. You will always be my big brother.
