Nothing but echoes in the Rascal Room these days. Rest easy Stan.

I remember Stan from the old WDGY radio days. I used to be the DJ at our high school dances in Bloomington,Minn.

I invited Stan to MC one of our dances. And everyone enjoyed him so much. I will always remember him.

Thanks Stan for all your help. We will miss you.

I worked with Stan at KDWB in the '70s. He was always a positive, humorous, mentor. He was a genuine "kind soul". I'll miss seeing his Broadcasting magazine, full page ad. He carried it with him every day during bussiness hours. My deepest sympathy to all..

Dear Audrey, Bob & family,
We will all miss Stanley very much. Our trips to Vegas won't be the same without the fun-loving "rascal" with us at the tables! My sincere sympathy to you all.

Love,
Nancy
