Stanley always made time for everyone....I will miss the conversations about Family, Travels and playing "Pitch"....As my daughters often said about Stanley "He is the Fun One".....We will miss him but I'm sure he is loving the fact that he will get to have new conversations with new people.

So sad to know Stan has left this world. He certainly gave cancer a good fight. People who knew him know what a wonderful man he was and he will be much missed by so many. He loved to talk and listen to people. This man had the energy of 5 people half his age. Rest in peace Stan.
