Stan and I were classmates in Pleasantville High School, good friend so sorry to hear about his passing so late!! Stan lived down the street from me, we used to go to Stan´s market before we would go to the Saturday night dance, Skip Horton, Bobby Giselle, who owned a car dealership in Pleasantville! R.I.P.

Stanley was such a positive influence on my life. Because of Stan I met my husband Dr. Don Scheurer. Stan even helped plan our wedding. He also shared his love, knowlege, enthusiams and his many adult toys and travels with us. Don and Stan were not only best friends but they considered each other as brothers.
Often Stanley would say to us that he had so much but he didn't have the love Don and I were blessed with as soulmates to share with each other. That is what he wanted!!
Then one day Isabel came into his life. She was who had been looking for all his life. He now had his soulmate and the love of his life. They became Mr. and Mrs. He now felt complete and they shared their lives together.
I thank you Stan for all your shared knowledge and love and beautiful memories.
I know you and Don are up there sharing your happy hours together and one day Isabel and myself will be with the both of you. Thank you and I love you.....Nancy

Stanley had a a remarkable Positive influence on my life. Because of Stan I met my amazing husband Dr. Don Scheurer. Stan even helped to plan our wedding. He and Don were not only best friends but considered each other brothers. We were fortunate to share so much of Stanley's many adventures. Stan was a very giving person in both his knowledge, love, enthusiasm and his grown up toys.
He would often say to us that as much as he had he did not have the love that Don and I were blessed to have for each other.
However that all changed when Isabel came into his life. He finally found what he had been searching for. The person he loved so deeply and wanted to make her Mrs. Stanley Starn and he shared the rest of his life with!! Isabel, you made Stan's life complete.....
I know that Don and Stan are up there sharing their Happy hours together. Thanks Stan for all the happy times and memories you gave me. I love you....Nancy

So many great memories of my beloved Uncle Stanley, who I admired and loved so much. I had fun doing these things with him party catering, boating, his mentoring support, listening to all his stories, and traveling with him was like a history lesson. I have been blessed to call him family. I am and will always be thankful for his love, and all that he did for us, especially for my late mother. Stanley I miss and love you so much.

I attended Pleasantville HS with Stan. He was always lots of fun, and enjoyed sailing on the bay off of Atlantic City. I was privileged to call him a friend. He was always generous and a true gentleman...even then. I remember him attempting to teach me how to sail and fence...and the many parties and dances where he was present. I´m sure he will be missed by anyone who knew him.
