Dear Nancy, We used to call him Uncle Stan as he babysat us often. My sister Darlene and I are cleaning out our Moms apartment as she is now in a nursing home. Helen Underwood will turn 99 in February. While cleaning we found his book, record and sheet music he had sent my parents. I remember when he took us through NBC in NYC so long ago. I thank him for the wonderful memories. Most sincerely, Ginger Underwood Horling

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I met Stan through our colleague Jerry Plano. What a pleasure it was getting to know him. Stan had such an interesting life story that he wrote about in his book Razz Ma Tazz. Love and blessings to Nancy and family.

Stan came into the piano store I was working at and I immediately took a liking to him. I knew nothing about him other than he wanted to buy a piano. He tried out some of the pianos in the showroom to which I mentioned "Wow, you're really good". He smiled and it was then that I learned who Stan was and what he had done with music. It was the beginning of a friendship I will always cherish. To Nancy and the family, my sincere and heartfelt condolences.

In lieu of flowers, our family requests that if you care to make a donation, that it would be made to Hospice of the Foothills in Grass Valley, CA. Thank you. His Celebration of Life is November 4, 11:00am at Twin Cities Church, GV.

I only met him once, but he was so loving and kind when I did. He had a joy about him that you couldn´t help but love. Rest in peace Stanley.

Rest In Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the Zabka family.

We loved Stan very much. He lived a good life and touched many lives. We know that Stan is in heaven playing the piano and entertaining all. We miss him.

You'll be missed my friend. My condolences to your family. May you Rest in Peace.
