Wow. My wife & I were looking up hotels for next year, to get away from the same Beverly Hills hotels, and  perhaps visit Florida friends, and I thought of the Newport and Stanley. I thought I would look him up, as Stanley hired Me for My 1st job away from home at the Newport when I moved to Miami from Syracuse, NY at 18. He was the nicest guy even under pressure. He always called Me " Kid", which I thought was hilarious because I'd say "It's GREG, and Stanley is My fathers name!ha!"
 I've been using "KID" as a term of endearment ever since. I really loved that job as a Lifeguard, even though I was more of a glorified pool boy, because I hadn't gotten My certificate yet, but Stanley was kind enough to hire Me anyway because My Friend Mike already worked there.(hey, it was 1978!)  I recall My Mom even appreciated him for making Me cut My hair which until then nobody was able to accomplish. Anyways, He's always been a kind hearted memory through the years. I've always cherished those memories of My 1st gig when I met some of the Rockstars I eventually ended up working with years later in LA.  He's always been in My circle of fond memories,  and I'm honored to have known him. Sorry for his Family's loss.
Stanley was one heck of a Good Guy.
May He Rest Easy.
Sincerely, 
Greg Konder

I am a resident at the Olympus and was out of town when Stan passed away. I was shocked to receive the news.  I am a retired hotel manager and Stan and I shared many stories about the business we both loved. He was a great guy and he will be missed.

I've known your father for over 25 years and although lately its only been through the Special Olympics the giving nature of his nature of his has never weakend or changed.
The way he treated all of the people he came in contact with, the example he set of respect and love he gave to all of the children he ever coached, and the parents who watched how his example had taught their children, as well as themselves, the true meaning of how they should live their lives. 
No one who has met Stan will ever forget how much he added to there life.
I know everyone who has met him will miss his infectious smile and humor because of what it brought to their lives.

I worked for Stan at the Newport Hotel when I was 17. Stan was a great man who never had a bad thing to say about anyone. In a materialistic world Stan stood out as a true gentlemen that never judged anyone regardless of income or social status. When you're young you don't realize how rare these kind of people are and how lucky you where to have meet them.

RIP Stan.
                                                                   Glenn Ojalvo (Aventura, FL)

Stan you will be missed. Thank you fot the great memories.

To Marcy, Aaron and Jonathan:

STAN was my son's first baseball coach in the Optomist league back in the the late 1980's and we worked together @ special olympics since that time.

I will always remenber his energy and great sense of humor...we shared many 
good times over the years and he will be deeply missed by all his family and friends....truly a wonderfull, caring person.
Donald Kahn & family

Your father was the first person to welcome me to the Optomist Club. His long jump area was near our awards venue and he always had time to come in and say high to all of our staff. He will be missed by all of us.Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Sincerely,
Brenda and Larry Crow and family

To Marcy, Aaron and Jonathan:

I was so saddened to learn of your Dad's passing. My heartfelt sympathies to you all.

When I think of Stan, I remember him as one of the best baseball coaches our North Miami Beach Optimist Little League Baseball program ever produced. (and we've had many!) He respected all the players on his team, was fair and when he was finished for the season, his kids had really learned the fundamentals of baseball. It was a joy to watch him coaching and interacting with his kids.

In 1983 when we started our Special Olympics program, your Dad was part of the original group. No one in the program was more enthusiastic than he was and he couldn't wait each year for Special Olympics to roll around again. Why? Because again he was able to help the kids. His post was always at the Long Jump each and every year. He even coached these athletes so they could improve their jumps because they had 3 attempts. He loved and respected every kid he came in contact with

Your Dad was outstanding and I was proud to be an Optimist along side him. He had a kind word and a smile for everyone. We'll all miss him terribly.

call me fasteddie i also worked  for stanley  at  the nawport  hotel he was great guy and boss I was 17 year old  stanley will always remian in my memories

We are deeply saddened by Stan's passing.  He was an Optimist Club icon, always there with a helping hand, a kind word, and a smile.  Steve and I have our memories..."Stan and I ran the Special Olympics Long Jump event together and I always looked forward to talking with him.  We saw eye to eye on many subjects and I valued his opinion.  He impressed me with how he was always thinking about others and how he could make them happy.  A true inspiration to us all in his thoughtfulness!"-Steve  "I know that a smile can launch a thousand ships...in Stan's case, it warmed a thousand hearts...Thank you, Stan for the privilege of having known you"-Irene

Marcy, Aaron and Jonathan:  My name is Ed Smith and I've known your Dad for about twenty five years through the North Miami Beach Optimist Club and our Special Olympics.  I was so saddened to hear of his passing. Our entire group felt so bad that we hadn't heard in time to attend attend his funeral and share with you the respect and admiration we have for your Dad.  On a personal level, besides his being a wonderful person, I have to say he was one of the best baseball coaches we ever had in our program one of the most genuine giving and caring volunteers at our Special Olympics. When I sent out a notice to our group of his passing, I included the following "The streets of Heaven are too crowded with angels tonight. They're our students and our teachers and our parents and our friends. The streets of Heaven are too crowded with angels."

Stewie Bitterman and I were Stanley's childhood friends in Newark, NJ. Though we eventually lost contact we were both very saddened by his passing. May he rest in peace.

Stewie Bitterman and I were Stanley's friends a long time ago in Newark, NJ before his family moved to FL. We went our separate ways and lost contact but were both very saddened by his passing. Rest in peace, dear friend!

My name is Marcy.I am Stanley's daughter. Thank you so much for all the wonderful comments about my father.My heart is broken over this.My dad was the nicest man. A humble guy. He treated everyone with respect.  He was a brilliant man.He did so much volunteer work for his community.His coworkers seemed to like him alot. I miss and love my dad so much.

My family have vacationed at the Olympus for over 25 years.  Stanley always had a friendly word for us and asked about my parents if he had not seen them down at the pool.  Stanley went out of the way to engage my father in conversations about his WWII experiences, and had kind words for us when my father passed away.  We were all saddened to learn of Stanley's death.  He will be dearly missed.

I also worked for Stanley at the Newport Hotel when I was a teenager. He was a great guy and a miami Beach Hotel "Legand"  Stanley will remain alive in the hearts of those who  loved and knew him. GOD BLESS YOU REST IN PEACE
MY FRIEND.
                                                                                      Jon Kosches (N.Y./Miami)

I also worked for the Stanley at the Newport when I was in college.  He had a great work ethic, and ran the best and cleanest pool in Florida! He took special care of my parents at the Olympus for many years. My whole family loved him and he will be greatly missed. I'll never forget the coconuts he would knock down from the palm trees and give to my kids when they were small.

I went to work for Stanley at the Newport when I was 17 years old.  Stanley taught me skills that I still use today.  Over the years, he became a good friend. Today when I heard of his passing, I was deeply saddened and he will be missed.  He was a wonderful person who always gave credit to others when the credit was truly his.  Stanley will always remain in my memories.  Aaron, Jonathan, and Marcy you and your father are in my prayers.  Chief, may you rest in peace.
