Dear Lorraine and family,
May the Lord comfort and strengthen you. Stan and I served the Lord together as ushers, intercessors, and members of the men's group at Christian Life Church, Eliot, Maine. He was a good friend and had a heart for God and others. May his faith in God inspire all who know him to walk with God faithfully and in obedience.
In His love,

Dear Lorraine and Chad,
My heart goes out to both of you. I had the privilege of caring for Stanley many times and I can tell you there is not a more decent and caring person I have met. His heart was as large and genuine as his faith in God. We had long talks about polish food and he told me all about you. He was very proud of you too Chad.
Miss him much

Dear Lorraine: I am so sorry for your loss! My heart has been heavy all week thinking of you. Stanley was always so nice to me (remember-I wanted to marry him) he always played the drums for me and made money rings for me. I will be praying that you will be at peace knowing that Stanley is with God and "big" Stan.
I am sending you a butterfly kiss.
Love, Robin

Lorraine and Chad and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Stan was one of the most beautiful people I've ever had the privalege of knowing. He was the hands, feet and heart of God to eveyone he meet. He was always there to encourage me when I didn't know what to do. I will always hold in my heart all the wonderful counsel he has given me. When Stan prayed for you, you knew his prayers where reaching the ears of God. My friend, my fellow prayer warrior, my brother in Christ....

Dear Mrs Stefanowicz
I was sad to hear of Stanley's leaving us all to soon. I have the fondest memories of his humor, his dislike for people who were mean to others and his ability to make just the right comment at just the right time.
He was a wonderful fellow classmate.
May God bless him and hold him in the palm of his hands. May you and your family find peace in knowing that Stanley was, and continues to be a loving spirit.
Warm personal regards,
Pati Frew-Waters
