Stan was a wonderful person. I was blessed to work with him at Magtrol, and remain friends years after we no longer worked there. I never met a man more proud of his family and heritage than Stan. Stan was very much like a grandfather to me, after having lost mine at a very young age. He helped me through the perils of my young brother going through cancer back in 1989. He was a very dear friend and he will be very missed. God Bless to the entire Gzurich family - he loved you all very very much.

It doesn’t seem that long ago that many of us were blessed to have had Stanko as our Tamburitzan instructor, creating wonderful
memories that will never be forgotten. I am thankful for the huge influence he had us and I know his legacy will endure for many years to come because of the many lives he touched.
