I am so thankful to have seen Uncle Stan at mom and dad's 50th anniversary party. Also to have seen some of our cousins and Aunt Shirley too. I wish I could see more of you. We have a wonderful Babel family and Uncle Stan will be greatly missed. I send my love and prayers to all of his family and to all of you.

It was wonderful to see Uncle Stan when he came to Mom & Dad's 50th Anniversary party. We had a lot of fun and it meant a lot to all of us that he was able come.
I'm so grateful that Dad and Aunt Mary were able to spend some time together with him in September. He was a real Gentleman and will be missed by so many who loved him.

Distance and time create the space between a family. Thoughts and memories remain forever; "prayers" transverse the distance. Our prayers are with Uncle Stan's family.

Dear family, I regret to say that the distance between our families prevented us from connecting. I am Art Babel's youngest daughter. I haven't seen Uncle Stanley since I was very little, but I'm sure that he and my dad probably had a lot in common. My deepest sympathies and prayers are with you and your family.

On behalf of My wife Jill, daughter Taynia, and son Jason, I wish to offer our condolences to our extended Babel family.
Regretably, because of the distance, the last time I remember seeing Uncle Stanley, I was a child.
For those members of the family whom I never had the pleasure to meet. I am Albert Babel's youngest son.
With our deepest sympathy,

Our sincerest sympathy to your family. Mel and I enjoyed the time we spent with Uncle Stan and "young" Stan the last couple of years at the anniversary party and in September. Our daughter, Karen, was glad to meet her Grandpa Babel's brother. He reminded all of us of dad/grandpa, Melvin, with his quiet stories, smile and the twinkle in his eyes. May your wonderful memories sustain all of you during this difficult time and in the years to come.
Our thoughts and prayers are with...
