Just returned from vacation and learned of Stan's passing. I had just seen him in mid July while volunteering for the Key Center Telethon for C.R.Rotary. I will remember Stan always for kindness and humor. He will be greatly missed by his Key Center family and Citrus Rotarians.

I am still stunned. Sometimes you just expect to always see or run into someone. It has been my privilege to know Stan and I will never forget the kindness and concern that he always displayed for my daughter and I. Until we meet again...
RIP Dad. You will always be in our hearts.

I have known Stan for close to 20 years now, he is a man who loves being of service to others. There isn't anything he would not do for you and was always happy to help in any way that he could. Stan ALWAYS asked about you and your family. He didn't just ask he listened to your response and remembered it the next time he saw you. A few weeks ago Stan showed me the pictures from his daughter's wedding, he beamed with pride.
Stan loved his community. Stan will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his lovely family.

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Stan's passing. He was a great asset to the Citrus community, and will be greatly missed for many reasons. He was very genuine in his care and concern for others, and gave of his time and talents to help those less fortunate. Although I did not know him for very long, in the last few years that we became acquainted, he particularly was always very encouraging to me. I always came away from one of our talks being inspired and motivated to do more. He had a way of making you feel like you were a million bucks! My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family and close friends who are grieving during this time.

Stan was a good man and a good friend. He loved his family dearly and I was lucky to have known him. When Stan made a friend, he didn't just get to know you. He knew your entire family and would always ask about them. He will be greatly missed by many. God bless you my friend. Keep a bright eye on us all.
