Hi Daddy, 

Today we are attending a candlelit celebration on your behalf. It feels like just yesterday we were in the hospital and you grabbed my hand, shook your head (as in to tell me everything will be okay and to stop crying) and whispered I love you. I pulled myself together and said I love you more. 

I try to be strong for you (and Mom) everyday and keep pushing because I know that’s exactly what you would do if the roles were reversed. You’ve always had the best mentality about life. “Life happens and you move on”. I miss you more than I can explain but I find comfort in listening to your voicemails which always start “It’s your daddy...”. 

I miss those little things about you, Daddy. You know, announcing yourself on my voicemail even though I have caller ID lol, I miss you always singing random songs about what you are doing or that you ate too much, I miss your wit and your smile, I especially miss you saying you had to look on the “interweb” . 

I always felt we shared such a different bond and we just understood each other. I hope you are resting easy and watching over all of us, especially Mom. She’s doing okay :) we are keeping her preoccupied but there’s never a day that goes by we don’t talk about you or miss you or wish you were still here. The holidays just don’t feel the same without your presence. 

I love you, Daddy. Thank you for being the best dad and influence in my life. I wish you could be here for my 30th birthday. I promise I’ll behave and make you proud :) Until we meet again.

I learned today that Roger had passed away.  Roger had been our law firm's accountant for thirty years.  He came to us through Mary Wallace, then a firm associate.  When Mary moved on Roger stayed.  His wise counsel and advice was indispensable to our firm's financial health and stability.  He was a true professional and he will be missed. 
To the Stanley family let us extend our deepest sympathy for your loss.  Know that this good man has gone to a better place. 
Sincerely,
Jack Scheuermann, Elizabeth Menist and the attorneys and staff of Scheuermann & Menist

Roger was my sister Stephanie Campbell’s accountant and he played a key role in helping me settle her estate in 2014 after she had passed away. I pray for his family during this difficult time. Peace be with you.

I just received the word that Roger had passed.  I'm so sorry for your loss.  I met Roger at a very difficult time when he was helping in the settlement of a family estate matter.  He was someone I could count on to share a laugh to help me through the ups and downs of that time.  After that I continued to employ Roger each year for our taxes until recently when my father passed and we ended up switching to a local firm down here.  I missed talking to Roger this year.  Roger was always a stand up guy and was very patient with my family.  He will be missed. God Bless.

To the entire Stanley Family
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, father and grandfather just recently. I have fond memories sitting in the Stanley kitchen and family room with everyone while Roger and I were  working on a variety of projects. It was a special time. Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss and know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.

He was my accountant for over 40 years.  And I considered him a friend from Day 1.  Always funny, patient and full of beans.  A dear heart, and a great personal loss.

After an unsavory experience with an accountant, Roger was recommended by a friend, and what a benefit that was.   Roger was a joy to employ.  He was excellent at his work, and a joy to schmooze with.    I earned lotsa points with friends by referring folks his way.    When I got married, I started filing jointly, and had to use my wife;s firm accountant, who was a shadow of Roger.  I went to Roger's office to say goodbye, and he was most gracious, and gave me some hilarious tips on how to make a marriage last,    I treasure my memories of him.

What a concept. Old guys playing baseball at age 40 and over. Thanks to men like Roger, Larry Lombardi, Jerry KIemm and Jim Beck, this became a reality. I never dreamed that I would be able to play well into my seventies and I am extremely grateful to those who had the foresight and energy to make this possible.

On another level, Roger and I are/were in the same profession and we spent countless hours on the telephone discussing tax issues and strategies for our clients. He was an enormous help to me and I hope I was to him. I will miss you my man. Rest in peace.

Roger, also known as “Ra” to me, has been my law firm’s accountant for 17 years and my friend and personal accountant for nearly 30 years.  He was always direct, to the point, and oh, so funny.  I will miss hearing about his baseball, his motorcycles and his family who he loved so much; I will miss the lollipops he gave me when I visited during tax season, and I already miss hearing him call me “Kiddo” or “Blondie.”  Roger was a gem... Love ya Ra....

Roger was one of those men that exhibited a sense of calm and wisdom. And, yet a true competitor on the ball field and in life.  What he may have lacked in height, he made up for with his heart with his love of life, family, and baseball. We owe a lot of thanks to him, for without his efforts, DCMSBL may never have came as far as it has come. Roger, please say hello for all of us to the ultimate umpire in chief.

I suspect Roger and Jim Beck are up there right now planning for when more of us join them to put together a 4 team league.

Roger got me involved going to the MSBL World Series in Phoenix and I will be forever grateful to him for that.

With all the work he did behind the scenes as well as the work we knew of, he leaves a pretty big footprint to fill.

Miss you Roger.



I was very fortunate to play on the same MSBL team with Roger for several years. Lots of fond memories of Roger and his sense of humor. 

I was very fortunate in about 1995 to be accepted into the “inner sanctum” of the DCMSBL adult baseball league by Roger and Larry Lombardi as an assistant scheduler to Jim Beck.  Jim, Roger and I would gather in the Stanley’s basement in the early spring to spend 4-5 hours creating the bare-bones schedule on Roger’s computer. Then Jim and I would work with the coaches by phone to fine tune everything, often with 8-10 phone calls between coaches and each other just to get one game placed. Then we’d call Roger to have him change it on his computer. We talked to each other by phone so often that we decided we could save time and energy by opening a combined sports memorabilia shop, chiropractic clinic and CPA office called “Bex, Bax & Bux”.

Sherri's birthday party + Halloween party was an annual tradition, and it wouldn't be complete without Mr. Stanley. Often he'd be listening thoughtfully to his daughters' and friends' conversation, then he'd come in with the perfect (and perfectly delivered) "dad joke" question.  Or he'd be sneaking off downstairs to check the score of the baseball game (of course the party coincided with the World Series).

I know the Stanleys will continue to gather and celebrate, but it won't be the same without him. I'll miss his smile and his welcome. My heart goes out to the whole family.

Great memories of all the times Harry and I spent with the Stanley family, especially on the 4th of July.  My heart and prayers go out to the family.
