I have known Stan from the first day he started with Bethlehem Steel's Chicago sales office in the mid 1960's. He was always a catalyst for building a team spirit within the office or on our annual fishing trip, office softball team, office football team, or the annual father son/daughter canoe trip.
Finally, Stan was the wittiest story teller I have ever known. He could liven any gathering with his sense of humor.
A bright light has been taken from his friends, but he will resume in his new environment in heaven.
