Professor Kaminsky taught me informal logic. It wouldn´t be an exaggeration to say he taught me how to think analytically. He was a passionate and kind and witty philosopher. I think of him often. My deep commiserations,

I don't know what prompted me today to look up Professor Kaminsky. I was so sorry to read of his passing. He was that quirky, wonderful, compassionate human being who happened to be a favorite professor in my major. I especially recall his kindness during a difficult period for me at Union. His kindness dwarfed even his impressive intellect. Which is the highest praise I can offer. Baruch dayan ha emet.

My condolences to Professor Kaminsky's family--I am so sorry to learn of your loss. Professor Kaminsky was my thesis advisor in 1984-85, after I had taken several classes with him during my first few years at Union. He was a wonderful advisor/teacher--challenging, funny, and brilliant--and a person of great compassion and integrity.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Professor Kaminsky was one of my favorite teachers at Union. Although I was an economics major, after I had one course with professor Kaminsky, I searched out and took his courses whenever I could. He was funny, engaging, challenging and made learning fun. I recall one sunny spring day when all of us in his class were stairing outside through the large windows at everyone walking around and playing frisbee outside. No one was paying attention to Professor Kaminsky pacing in front of the blackboard writing whatever he was trying to teach us. Before we knew it, he jumped out the window and started pacing back and forth outside the windows between the bushes. Are you kidding me? This was amazing and hilarious and you know what, we also listened to him for the rest of the class. He inspired me and I still recount to my friends today the thought-provoking problems we discussed in Metaphysics 38 years ago. Thank you Professor Kaminsky for teaching us how to think and have fun at the same time. You will be remembered.

To the Kaminsky Family. I am so sorry for your loss. I want you to know what an extraordinary Professor and person he was. He molded the minds and lives of Union students for years and was a favorite professor of many. I loved his philosophy class and he developed my analytical and thought process forever. I am forever in his debt
I am sure he will be missed every day.

A smart, unique and engaging 1975 Union classmate. I would have loved being his philosophy student. He certainly met my late genius father, if there is a heaven, arriving on the occasion of his 99th birthday.

I first met Stanley through my brother-in-law, Jeff. I remember Stanley's love of science fiction and how he got nieces Laurel and Natalie interested in reading science fiction books. I appreciated his great imagination in the story he contributed to our "family stories" book for Natalie's bat mitzvah.

My sister, Betty Siegel, and I knew Stanley since kindergarten at P.S. 16. What stood out with Stanley was his brilliance----he was always way ahead of everyone else in that regard. I had the pleasure of getting to know Stanley much better when we worked on the Albany High School Yearbook as seniors. It was then that I appreciated the different sides to him. His sense of humor and kindness became even more obvious to me. I feel so blessed to have shared this experience with him. My sincerest condolences go out to his family. I will never forget him.
