Dear Lorraine and family,
May the Lord comfort and strengthen you. Stan and I served the Lord together as ushers, intercessors, and members of the men's group at Christian Life Church, Eliot, Maine. He was a good friend and had a heart for God and others. May his faith in God inspire all who know him to walk with God faithfully and in obedience.
In His love,
Henry Nduaguibe, Hong Kong, China.

Dear Lorraine and Chad,
My heart goes out to both of you. I had the privilege of caring for Stanley many times and I can tell you there is not a more decent and caring person I have met. His heart was as large and genuine as his faith in God. We had long talks about polish food and he told me all about you. He was very proud of you too Chad.
Miss him much

Dear Lorraine: I am so sorry for your loss! My heart has been heavy all week thinking of you. Stanley was always so nice to me (remember-I wanted to marry him) he always played the drums for me and made money rings for me. I will be praying that you will be at peace knowing that Stanley is with God and "big" Stan.
I am sending you a butterfly kiss.
Love, Robin

Lorraine and Chad and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Stan was one of the most beautiful people I've ever had the privalege of knowing. He was the hands, feet and heart of God to eveyone he meet. He was always there to encourage me when I didn't know what to do. I will always hold in my heart all the wonderful counsel he has given me. When Stan prayed for you, you knew his prayers where reaching the ears of God. My friend, my fellow prayer warrior, my brother in Christ. I will miss him.
With love and prayers,

Dear Mrs Stefanowicz
I was sad to hear of Stanley's leaving us all to soon. I have the fondest memories of his humor, his dislike for people who were mean to others and his ability to make just the right comment at just the right time.
He was a wonderful fellow classmate.
May God bless him and hold him in the palm of his hands. May you and your family find peace in knowing that Stanley was, and continues to be a loving spirit.
Warm personal regards,
February 4, 2010
Chad,

So sorry for your loss. I knew Stan all through school and remember the teachers trying to pronounce his last name. He would roll his eyes and say "yeah thats fine". Stan always had a great sense of humor. I worked with Him at Moore Business forms as well. Would see him around at times and he always had a smile and was glad to see you. I'll miss you Stan until I get to meet you in Heaven. Your friend, Bob

Dear Lorraine, I can't begin to tell you the sorrow I feel at losing Stan. He was a wonderful man and friend to me and to many. He always had that great smile and gave joy just looking at him.Although I'm sure he endured a lot of pain,he never complained. He was so very gentle, kind and respectful especially to my parents.He and I shared many of the same beliefs of faith and so I know he is now free from the pain and illness that wracked his body.He certainly was a blessing to you and many others.
My prayers and Deepest Sympathy are with You in your hour of sorrow.
