I worked with Stan at the GWY and then again at the Priority Center in Romulus.
Stan was a rebel in his own way and he always had something funny to say.
Al, Charlie, Stan and me were known as the Ratt Pack at the P-1. We had so many, many fun times and laughter together. Never a dull moment.
Stan, I will miss you and the fun times we had. I know you're in a better, safer place, rest in peace my brother.

I worked with Stan at the GWY post office in downtown Detroit. He was such a nice guy with a great personality. I was saddened to hear of his passing & I will remember the laughs we shared back in the day. Condolences to his family, friends & postal family. He will be missed by many.

So sad to hear the news. I worked with Stan for many years at the PO. He was a great guy. Cared about others, great athlete and an awesome bowler . What a great sense of humor. Always had everyone laughing. I'll never forget how he helped me when I lost my mom. Wonderful, wonderful guy and a great friend. He will be missed!!!

Played golf with Stan , always so many laughs. He would confidently bet on any proposition , and admit he was far better at bowling when shots or putts went awry. Laugh just thinking about it!
