Bobbi:
Stan was such a lovely, lovely man. So many "favors" and helpful engagements over the years. You might think we didn't know, because we were "kids," but we saw all and understood when we got older. Plus, Stan was great company (and help) during the mourning/party process of emptying the house -- and he gets full credit for the brilliant solution of 1-800-gotjunk (which my siblings and I still talk and laugh about)!!! My heart goes out to you and your children, whom I remember fondly, having babysat a few of them back in the day. So sorry to hear this news. Love, Janice Carapellucci

Dear Bobbi and family,
We were sorry to here of Uncle Stan's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. He was a really nice man.

February 16, 2013

We have great memories of brother Stan and what he has done for HIS Service at Camp Iroquoina. It was a joy to work side by side with a man dedicated to serving HIS Savior.

February 16, 2013

There are thousands of children alive today (because, as infants, they gained access to potable water, delivered to their villiages), due to the efforts and ingenuity of Stan Madsen. He was a great friend to my entire family... Stan we love you! -Cindy Carapellucci
