Great obituary and I will forever miss him, as he was my favorite uncle. I will forever remember the days he did his magic tricks and had me fooled every single time. I'll never forget his voice, his stories and his enthusiasm when telling those stories. God bless you uncle Stan. I will miss you sir.

Stanley was a patient at my job. I just found out he passed. I am so sad to hear this news. He was such a funny man and made me laugh all the time. He will definitely be missed. May he rest in peace. My condolences to his family and friends.
