Yesterday

I met Stan at events in and sponsored by the Groton USSVI Base. He always had a warm smile and a genuine wonder about what I was up to and how I was doing. I "scarfed" him once when we were over there on his birthday. He was pleased to be remembered and gifted on his special day. To all those who knew him ...remember the funniest stories concerning him was and tell them. Humor is a great way to be remembered. Fair winds and following seas.

Stan was a fine man - stellar! He accomplished so many things. I will miss him, his jovial personality, smile and laugh. Rest in Peace, Stan. We have the watch!

Stan was one of my best friends. Always a smile, or his infectious laugh. You knew Stan was in the club as you could hear his laughter all over the club. He was a hard worker, and would roll up his sleaves and jump right in when help was needed. He was part of my team for several years when I was the Base Commander. He contributed greatly to our many successes. I could always depend on him. Him, PW Louthain and I were brothers. My condolences to his family and friends. I will miss him.

So sorry to hear of Stan's passing. We work together for a number of years at EB on various programs. Stan was one of a kind, always happy with a contagious laugh. He was the ultimate knowledgeable respected professional and always was the best dressed employee even on dress down days. Eternal piece Stan, we've lost a good one.

I worked with Stan at Electric Boat for 30 years and I can say he never had a bad day in my presence. Stan was always a complete professional and a perfect gentleman. He also had a great sense of humor and the best laugh. It was an honor to be his coworker.
