My heart breaks, I feel he has made my life better because I knew him and was able to spend time with him. He had a great sense humor, he was a trickster. I feel he was a best friend, always there. He will be missed by many. Stan (Lizard) was one of a kind, a better friend would be hard to find.

Had the pleasure of working with Stan at the at Tollway. He was knowledgeable and helpful with any mechanical problems we had. Enjoyed his stories about his brother that was an under water welder working in India. Stan will be missed

I worked with Stan for many years. He was always very giving and kind. I just talked to him on the Saturday after Thanksgiving about his GMC Safari so this came as quite a shock. I will miss our occasional lunch at Sunfield or Oasis! He was always the go to guy if you had a question about equipment. Stan you were a great friend and you will greatly be missed! My condolences to his family!

Stan was my friend and mentor for nearly 40 years. He was as brilliant as he was humble. He was as honest as the day is long. He was a hard worker, great mechanic, had a terrific sense of humor. I will miss him terribly.

Stan was my best friend. My family and I considered him a valued member of our family. He was a caring and generous man. He would remember all of our families birthdays and always had gift for everyone at Christmas.

He loved the outdoors. We had many hunting and fishing trips that were amazing and we had so much fun.

He was the most intelligent person I´ve known. He was humble but could be stubborn when he wanted to be. He taught me many things and one was caring for people. He cared deeply for his family, friends and neighbors. He cherished the time with everyone but loved his alone time too.

Stan can never be replaced, there´s no one else like him. Our hearts are broken and we want him to know we will love him forever. Rest in peace my friend and please continue to watch over me and guide me throughout the remainder of my life. Hopefully, we will meet again someday.......

Stanley was a genuine soul, he was a great person to talk to and ask for advice. A genius with a great mechanical aptitude, he saw what people didn´t, in the end was a great product that seemed so easy to design and build.
Stanley had a heart of gold, he would give the shirt off his back... or one of the dozens (new) he had at home.
He will be greatly missed and leaves behind a great void.
God bless you Stasiu!
