In Stan's earlier years I enjoyed being a camper and counselor with him at Camp Wekeela. His caring and yes, his sense of humor added to a memorable fun time at camp. It was good to read of the positive impact he had on so many after his camp days. I am sorry to hear of his passing.

Stanley Sacon had a major positive influence on the direction of my career.
Working for Stanley gave me meaningful management experience that was helpful in all of my future roles. Stanley encouraged me to accept the unexpected invitation from Suffolk University to be admitted to their Executive MBA Program, which proved to be a launch pad for the lucrative career that came to fruition.
Between the contacts that I made and the skills I acquired, I progressed to becoming a Director of Finance at highly regarded companies and am now enjoying a retirement of world travel and much pleasure. And, this all started with the help and encouragement from Stanley. He was a kind, caring and generous man. I will always be grateful for his advice and support.

Stan was dear and gentle man with a wry sense of humor. I had the good fortune of having him as a mentor and cherish the years I spent with him at South Shore Counselling.

My deepest sympathy to the Sacon family. Dr. Sacon was "one of a kind." Always made time here at SSMC to stop by every department with his great personality, a kind word and a huge smile. I was fortunate to share some humor with him on an ongoing basis....Rest in Peace my "Rabbit-Rabbit" friend.

Sending peace and love to the Sacon family. He will be missed. Always took the time to talk and get to know his employees at SSMC and made everyone feel truly appreciated, that we were part of "that family". A very good man. He will be greatly missed.

My first day was Stan's first day in charge at SSMC. He was a great leader and such a supportive person in my career. He took a personal interest in me and my family, and my daughter thought of him as a grandfather when she was little and came to the SSMC to visit and see "Stan". He pushed me into projects and leadership roles I wouldn't have otherwise thought I was qualified for, shaping me into the professional I am today. He will always hold a very special place in my heart and will be dearly missed!"

Such sad, sad news. My deepest sympathies to his family. I will never forget his smile when he would come around to every department at SSMC to say hello and chat on a regular basis. It really meant a lot and left such a lasting impression. Without him SSMC would not be where it is today.

I was shocked and saddened to read of Stanley's.passing. We lived across the street from the Sacons when I was a little girl, and one of my earliest memories is of visiting Stanley on a hot summer day as he lay on his front porch in an iron lung. It must have been the first great challenge of his young life. He overcame it and went on to do so much good in this world. My condolences to all .

There are no words to express the profound sadness felt upon hearing of Stan's passing. I worked with Stan for several years at SSMC and learned a great deal from him in the roles of mentor, confidante and most importantly... friend. He truly was "one of a kind" and will be sorely missed by many. My deepest sympathy to his family.
