My deepest condolences to Stan's family and friends. I got to know Stan several years ago and after we became friends, he visited me in Florida a few times. Such an easy going, nice man. He worked very hard to retire "early" which gave him a few more years of doing things he enjoyed. He left us too soon but all who knew him have wonderful memories!

Christine, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. May you find strength and peace in the memories of time shared by you and Stan. I, too, worked with Stan at Fisher Scientific often sharing our lunch break, then burning off calories as we walked around the parking lots afterwards. We shared a table at the yearly Fisher 25 year club dinners enjoying good conversations. Stan was a wonderful person and will be truly missed.

I was shocked at the news of Stan's passing! Stan was a dedicated and loyal employee in our communications department before retiring several years ago. Most importantly, Stan was a wonderful man and a good friend. We had the pleasure of attending the annual Fisher 25 Year Club service awards celebration with Stan. Jackie and I always made it a point to guarantee sitting with Stan so we could share memories of our experiences together at Fisher Scientific. We will certainly miss our good friend. God bless you, Stan. You are certainly with Our Lord in Heaven!

I have fond memories of Stan as a student and a leader in his days at La Roche College. In the years following he was a friend. We will miss him, but have comfort in knowing he is with God. Sister Joan Coultas, former La Roche President
