I'm so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of teaching with Stan for several years. In 1994, when my daughter was in a car accident, Stan helped me out by giving me his lesson plans and study guides for Great Expectations. I was tutoring her at home and it made all the difference. He was a good man.
