Stan was one of the nicest gentlemen we have ever met. We enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor and we admired his love for his family. We lost a great friend to our community, and it will never be the same without Stan's contagious smile. You will be missed my friend - We love you, and share our greatest condolences for your family.

Betty and family, I’m sorry to hear about Stan’s passing. He was a wonderful friend at Westinghouse. We shared an office for four years. Stan was friendly, jovial, and quite interesting. I enjoyed coming to work and talking to him. Even my children enjoyed talking to him when he answered my phone. We will all miss him.
