Dear Jeanne,

I was sadden to hear the news of Stan's passing. I will fondly remember our chitchats on food, restaurants and recipes at Milagros. Stan was a kindhearted gentleman who will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Eric,
I am sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a very good man and I always respected him.

Dear

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during the days ahead. We were
very fortunate to have known Stan and to be the recipients of his vast
knowledge of scales, his enthusiasm, his friendship and a copy of his
new book. We shall always cherish our memories of Stan. He was a very
good friend. He will be missed by all his friends in ISASC.
