Met Stacy a.k.a 'Alan' in the 5th grade, immediately struck by his intellect and artistic talent. He had an unsurpassed sense of humor. He was the smartest person I've ever met (and I've met a lot of smart people). One of my closest friends throughout middle and high school but sadly lost touch over the years with moves. Sad to hear of his passing. He will be missed.

I first met Stacy in 3rd grade and always enjoyed his dry sense of humor and intelligence. I'm very sorry for your loss.

Stacy became a friend of mine through his father, Tom. Our friendship was short lived since it was near the end of Tom’s life but continued beyond his father’s death. He was quiet and soft spoken as well as kind. I will never forget him and will miss him forever.
