Our deepest condolences to Stan's family. We always enjoyed visiting with Stan and at family gatherings.

I worked with Stan for most of my career. He had the highest of standards and was tireless in his pursuit of a story. He had a nose for news, which led to his work as an investigative reporter. As others have said, he was an inspiration to many, giving freely of his time as a mentor, especially to reporters new in their careers.

So sorry to hear of Stan´s passing. I can´t forget the many hours playing ping pong at his house, playing tennis with Stan, Bill Capocci and Tom Tapley. Jim McMahon completed our quintet. We had such a great time during our high school years. I `m sure I speak for all in saying he will be missed.

I have only fond memories of Stan DeCoster, fellow classmate in Medfield's Class of 61. Stan was liked by all. I send my sympathies to his wife and children, his former workmates, his golf buddies, and all who knew Stan DeCoster. best, John C. Kennedy, Class of '61.

I was glad to know you. Sherman Harvey

Stanley ...memories of our times at the Medfield High Class of '61 clearly surface as I read of his death. It was a class loved by teachers for its cooperative nature, enthusiasm and curiosity of the whole group. Stanley's biography clearly shows he continued to live the following decades with the same spirit. As octogenarians we can look back and appreciate what history we experienced. Mrs. Pederzini would be proud and although we only had brief contact at a reunion or two, his death feels...

Stan and I have been best friends since high school we had season tickets to Patriot games for many years and going to many Red Sox games, and our families went camping together many summers, I miss him greatly!

I knew Stan as a quiet leader in the newsroom during my time there. He always offered help, advice and encouragement. He was generous with his gifts and his time. Deepest condolences to his family.
