Stanley Lessler Obituary

Stanley M. Lessler
Stanley M. Lessler, 84, passed away early Thursday morning, April 21st, 2022. Residing in Stratford with his beloved wife Judith, Stanley was an accomplished attorney, real estate developer and family man.

Stanley lived a life full of merit, graduating from Tufts University and UCONN School of Law.

Judith and family
Please accept my condolences for the passing of Stanley. It was a shocker reading his obituary. I never thought he will pass. The last time I saw him 3,4 years ago he looked like 30 some years ago when we were playing racquetball at Bridgeport YMCA. Greate man, honest, modest and best RE attorney.
RIP Stanley
