My condolences to the Greenspan family. Mr. Greenspan was my boss during my outside work experience position as a clerical assistant in his office at Concord High School in 1971-72. He was a lovely man and taught me a lot on how to be prepared for the real world.

Mr Greenspan was my counselor at John Swett during the 70's and he was wonderful. What a caring person he was. Condolences to the family.

Stan was the nicest person one could ever know. He was a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather.
I know he will be missed by so many of his friends and family, I know I will certainly miss him. I was fortunate to have had him as my brother in law. Actually he was more like a brother to me
Love, Marlene
