Memories and Condolences

Over a decade later, the person of Stan Veit still hold a place in my memories. I realize there was a lot of my own father in Stan, which is probably why he's still a regular visitor in vivid dreams that I have. I often dream Stan is still editing a magazine, perhaps an online revival of Computer Shopper, and he is wanting me to contribute. He was an original that will never be copied or forgotten.

I just saw this site -- Stan was a friend, boss, partner to Barbara and I for more than 25 years. We wrote for Computers & Electronics together -- he was on staff; Barbara and I were Contributing Editors -- we taught at the new School together -- we all NYACC members; he was a founder -- he had his own store in NYC and was a manager at Harmony House -- and then he and Dede moved to Florida and Barbara and I were Contributing Editors to Computer Shopper while he was Editor and Publisher (and we also wrote for two other Patch Publications) -- and we were recently partners in a Web publication -- and, more importantly, always friends. Stan was a wonderful person and we miss him

When I came to Silicon Valley with Tourist Visa a suit-case and vision for software crafstmanship, Stan answered my call and extended his helping hand. Stan is a Mensch for all times. Always grateful I am. Godspeed.

Stan you were the Man. Loved the many times we shared in Personal Computing. Little did we know what our meager Computer Stores would turn out to be. Here's to you my friend!

Stan Veit was my boss at Computer Shopper from 1987-1989. Working with him a Technical Editor, and then an Associate Editor at the magazine, I learned the ropes of the editorial business under his direction.
Even before that, we had worked from afar, as I was priviledged to be a regular freelancer for the magazine, thanks to Stan.
Because of his unique encouragement to me, and the frank advice which he often dispensed, my life was enriched.
There is little that I add about Stan that hasn't already been said. He will be GREATLY missed and fondly remembered.
Our deepest sympathies to all the family and loved ones,
Ted & Vicki Drude

I'm heartbroken. It's November and I am just finding out now that he has passed. He was my first boss ever back at Computer Mart of NY. Dede-you and Stan were my 2nd parents for so much of my life and I love you both dearly. We may not have talked for periods of time over the years but you were never out of my thoughts and my heart. He was a great man and I am blessed to have known him.

I wrote for Stan back in the '90s and remained friends with him after that. We visited with him and DeDe in Titusville several times, primarily to enjoy shuttle launches together. The two of them always opened their house and hearts to us.
Stan messaged me on Facebook back in June to ask if/when we were returning to Florida. We left things hanging, at that time. And now, I discover that next get-together will not occur.
Ironically, I only learned about Stan's death when I went to his Facebook page to send him a message that we might be coming to Florida in November. Our son, Jason, now works for SpaceX and will be at the Cape for that company's November launch of its Falcon rocket. I mention this because DeDe and Stan contributed greatly to Jason's interest in all things Space, when he was but a young tyke. He still has a packet of NASA documents DeDe compiled for him, during one of our visits in the mid-'90s. It would have been wonderful to share with them his success...the culmination of a dream they helped develop.
DeDe...my condolences. You are in our thoughts, and I can only apologize that it took me this long to learn of Stan's death.
He lives on, in all of us whose lives he influenced. He was one of a kind...the finest kind.

We in the computer history field will deeply miss Stan and his intellectual contributions to our community. Especially for those of us in the NYC area, many of us grew up shopping at Computer Mart, then reading Computer Shopper, and later reading his history book. I doubt there will ever be another like him.

Dede and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I have felt so bad for not having completed the audio version of Stan's book. I really want his (and yours) fantastic story to reach many more people. Stan's book is one of my favorites. I am dedicated to adding chapters as quickly as I can now. Stan was a great man, and there are many in computer history circles that recognize this. Ironically, Stan was the first member of my Historical Computer Society in 1993, and I am just now starting this group up as a monthly club, hopefully to create a non-profit, educational organization, as I wanted to do back then. I will dedicate it to him. Take care. http://web.me.com/dgreelish/Classic_Computing_Podcasts/Stan_Veit/Stan_Veit.html

Home with his Lord - ah Dee Dee, our family will never forget the two of you - but Stan was so very sweet to our sons when we moved to Titusville and joined Unity in 1994. I loved speaking with him so much...and I know you are surrounded by friends as you let Stan go. Much love to you lovely lady and your family, Ron, Clairese, R.A.Y., Camron & Drake Austin
