Farewell Stan, you will be sadly missed. We were partners (and friends) in the Computer Systems project that we completed together in our final year at Ryerson in 1975.

Good-bye Stan... we've known each other since the Moon Glow days, Bedford Park, Lawrence, Ryerson, our Argonauts, and beyond. It's hard to accept that you've left....

You always were such a great friend and I'm thankful that we shared so many experiences and memories together. It has been a wonderful friendship together...

Your kindness, generosity and positive spirit will forever shine brightly.

Thank you Stan.

Stan, in all the years that I knew you at Ryerson, you were always gracious and pleasant to talk The joke between us was that you would always say, "I'll retire when you retire." I did but you didn't. I think you would have enjoyed it. Rest In Peace.

Stan and I were e-pals till his death. He had an interest in our Chinese heritage so I regularly sent him informative items. We met when Lung Kong arranged a tour to western China and Thailand in 2006. Throughout the years we continued to see one another at Lung Kong dinners. When I went in search of him at their recent CNY dinner was told of Stan's passing. How I will miss our hug and conversation! My condolences to all his family.
