So sorry to hear of Stan's passing.
I had worked with Stan at the Dodge dealership in Elmira many years ago and remember Stan as a fair and honest person.

Dear Wisneski Family:

My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time regarding the passing of Stanley.

Being that I am out of town, I will not be able to pay my respects in person.

Stan will be remembered for all the times he worked on our automobiles.
