Memories and Condolences

I was very sad to learn of Cousin Stanley's passing. Although we only met a few times over the years, we shared the common bond of common lineage. Stanley would speak fondly of my grandfather and his cousins and was always supportive and interested in the happenings of his/our extended family. He was an "Emes Mentch" and carried our family name and and the richness of our heritage with great pride. May his memory be forever a blessing and may his family be comforted amongst the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

I would like to express my sincere condolences to Stanley's family and friends.

I did not know Stanley well, but met him at one of the first Alzheimer's Association events that I attended nearly a decade ago. He was so kind and open, and I enjoyed his company and his shared wisdom that evening. He insisted on driving me home to Malden, rather than let me take public transportation, as I had planned. During the drive, he spoke of his business contacts in Malden over the years--and of his beloved family.

After that meeting, I always looked forward to seeing him at events. His generosity of spirit was remarkable and deeply affecting.

I was saddened to hear of his passing, but glad that the Alzheimer's Association will honor him. All who had the pleasure of meeting him will miss him.

Sincerely,
Madaline Minichiello

We have fond memories of Stanley at the Newton Wellesley Alzheimers Center where Florence and my mom were residents. Stanley was a devoted husband and father, and a very good friend to many. He and my dad always exchanged Chanukah and Christmas cards and stayed in touch even after dad moved out to California in 2004. We will keep Stanley in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the entire Solomont family,
Words can not express my feelings for Stanley. He was such an important part of my life these last several years. He was an inspiration. He brought a light into my life that will never fade. I recently found a card that Stanley wrote to me which read "Don't say a word, just be who you are." I am a better person today because of the lessons I learned from Stanley. His love for Flo and his family touched me in ways I can never explain. I am deeply saddened by his passing. He will remain in my heart forever.

With much sympathy and love,
Stefanie

Dear David, Nancy and Leslie:
I was saddened to hear of the death of my good friend Stanley, and wish to extend my sincere sympathy to you and all the Solomont Family. He was so proud of all,of you, especially Rachel and Daniel.
Stanley and I saw each other every day for more than six years at NWAC. and kept in touch with cards and calls since those days. He was so devoted to his dear Flo, and was an inspiration to all of us who knew him.
I last spoke with Stanley when he phoned me on my 90th Birthday on April 7, 2008. We had a long conversation that day.
I did not know he was ill recently. If I did, I would,have contacted him.
We had lots of happy times at NWAC despite the circumstances. Stanley used to call me the "Irish Mensch".
He is very happy now, re-united with his beloved Flo. Rest in peace my good friend.

Stanley Solomont will forever remain in my memory as a loving, funny and amazing man I was honored to know. One of my favorite things in the world was giving Stanley a nice, long hug and kissing his sometimes bristly cheek. We will miss you Stanley, and we are all richer for having you in our lives. Thank you for being such a memorable and wonderful Gi Gi to my boys, Bryon and Noah.

Jim and I are very saddened to hear of Stanley's passing. He was a dear man and a good friend to our daughter, Tara. He would call us from time to time to tell us how wonderful Tara was to him and it was always nice to see him at Tara's parties. I am very thankful that I was able to talk with him while he was in the hospital and let him know how much we cared for him. He will be greatly missed by us.
