I met Stan in Mr. Jones' Algebra III class at New Trier High School in 1953.He stayed in touch for 60 years. He was a loyal, caring friend to many. Condolences to all of us who knew him.

Stan and I met at camp in 1947 and became friends, keeping in touch and ending up as roommates at Amherst College for three of our four years there.

After college we kept in touch, visiting back and forth.

One this close is tough to take.

I first met Stan at camp in 1947 and we ended up being roommates at Amherst College for three of our four years.

We always kept in touch and often visited back and forth.

This is one that hit really close.

Stanley and I were 1st cousins - our dads were brothers. We spent every Sunday together growing up, both of us came east to college, we always kept in touch, and as adults we took a month trip around the world together. Stan is a great loss to our entire family. He was bright, quick, and great fun to be with. He always gave me encouragement in whatever I was doing and was very excited about my editing and annotating the autobiography of our great-grandfather David Lelewer which is do off the press this month. I'm sorry he didn't live to see the published addition of the book.
