Stanley L. Bagan

He was a guiding light for me in Guadalajara. His letter to Trinity started me on a quest that led to a 36 year career in Orthopedic surgery. He was helpful also in the school. Mrs B. was also encouraging. I value his contribution to my life immensely. I was Jim Wilson's roommate the first 2 yrs. and then transferred to U. of Cincinnati.

Over 19 years seeing Dr Bagan I grew to trust and care for him as he did for everyone. He was a great doctor and person. I had not known that I had cancer when I started seeing Dr Bagan back in 98 but he helped get the ball rolling. I was 18 then today I am 40. Thankyou so much Dr Bagan for your kindness compassion and support thru thru the years.

Dear Sally, Matthew, David and Families

Great Sorrow, of Stanley s passing

I was so very saddened to learn of Dr. Bagan's passing. He was such a good friend and physician to my late husband, Rodney Gates and later, a comfort to me as I grieved. He will be sorely missed but gave so much to this community.

I am flooded with tears and overwhelmed with my memories of our childhood and adolescence together. Stanley was the handsomest, funniest, and most mischievous of us all. He was an irresistible person. Full of life, full of love. Joanie and I are deeply, deeply saddened. Rick Levinson

Dear Cousin Sally,

I've been wanting to write you ever since Audrey called to tell me Stanley had passed.
It has been a struggle for me to find the words to tell you how sad I am for you and
Linda.

Had I known in time, I would have jumped on the next plane to be with you and offer my support or do whatever I could do to make this time a bit easier for you.

Since you and I grew up together with our
Bridgeton families only a few doors away,I have always felt a...

Sally: I was devastated to learn of Stanley's passing when you were kind enough to call me. As you know, Stanley was my roommate during our Freshman year at Trinity College. Although we were not roommates after that first year, we remained dear friends. I was from Seattle and had no relatives in Hartford or the East Coast so Stan took me home with him for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays and I felt part of the family. Since Louise was not in our dorm room to pick up after Stan, I...

I was saddened when news of Dr. Bagan's illness was revealed to me. I'm thankful to have had the opportunity to express my admiration and love to him while he was still on this plain. Typical of Stan, he took the time to call me and talk. Our 40 year doctor/patient/friendship was a blessing! I truly believe the words that ended my letter to him became fact: "May the Spirit of Peace and Love find a dwelling place in your heart. May the gracious God of Abraham and David hold you in the palm...
