So sorry to find out Stan passed away. Since the day we met, he was one of the most positive and heartwarming humans I have ever met. He was funny beyond belief and a hard working employee.

The last time we spoke, his outlook was still positive but resolute, and 100% into living his last days to the fullest and in peace.

We will miss "The Man" but know that he is in heaven waiting for us to join him.

Rest In Peace

Happy days. Love you both, Sheri and Richard.

He always brought a big smile to everyone.

Stan you were one of a kind.. always a smile on your face, a story from your heart! You represented SC Johnson in Florida for so many years and everybody knew Stan the Man! A successful career and a friend to all both coworkers as well as customers. You will be missed, rest in peace my friend and I am so sorry I unable to attend your tribute! Until we meet again! Regards Matt Cook

Stan was a best friend to me for 48 years, I first met Stan in 1976 soon after he had moved to Florida and joined Johnson Wax. I was his trainer and, in a week, I was supposed to show him how to sell cleaning supplies. I take no credit for his success. Stan not only was a great teammate, but his distributors, distributor salesman and customers loved him too. He impacted a lot of lives in his work.

Most importantly, I knew how much he loved his family, especially his Pam, Marc , Cheryl and his grandchildren. I am sure Stan’s legacy will remain with his family forever. Stan will be looking over his family for eternity.

I would like to close with a personal story about Stan. I lost my wife ten years ago. Stan found out about it and attended all the services on a Friday representing all our work friends. He has been working in the Orlando area and made the trip way out of his way on this Friday to Sarasota, where I live. He walked up to me at the church and gave me a big hug and at that point I knew everything was going to be all right. What I did not know and only recently learned was that he stopped and bought a sport coat and tie to attend the service and honor my family.. That is why I am wearing this sport coat and tie to your drtvice and to remember all that you have done for me.

Rest in Peace, Stan the Man, My Friend

I hav posted what some of his friends thought of Stan, and I would like to add my memories.

My Friend, Stan the Man
April 7, 2024

One measure of Stan’s life on this planet is what his friends have said of him.

“Taught Me to Enjoy Life Now, Always Hopeful, Always with a Smile, One of a kind, A Unique Spirit, Always On, Kind and Wonderful Person, Professional, Courteous, and Well Liked, Stan Left Me a Better Man, One in a Million, A Million Laughs, Such an incredibly Kind man. He made everyone feel like his Best Friend. His posts over the last year were Impactful. Reminded me to slow down and remember what’s important. A True Legend in our Industry, One lesson I took from Stan is to enjoy life now. Smile along the way. Love the family. Such a wonderful, kind man with the best attitude! He was always in a great mood bringing positivity to everyone around him. Never sour, never angry, always animated.  I spoke with Stan back in January. He still had his “can do” spirit. He was upbeat, spoke of his loving family and talked of how proud he was of his kids. Stan the Man was quite a guy. He will be missed.”

A wonderful memory from the time Stan and Pam visited me in Maine during my difficult time—such compassion from two beautiful souls.  Today will be difficult for everyone. Rest in peace, dear friend.

With Samuel and Darrol. Loving memories ❤️

Great memory June 2009 first meeting with Stan. Rest in peace Stan. Forever in our ❤️. Laure and Julien

I worked with Stan many years ago at SCJ, he brought humor and light to the most mundane business meetings.  He loved being referred to as “Stan the Man” by his friends, and when a stranger once asked if he was Eric Clapton, he talked about it for weeks.  However, his greatest pride was to share updates about his two children and their growing families.  
It’s so hard to understand when someone so good leaves us too soon…perhaps, Stan’s purpose was to remind us all to be passionate about what you do and have gratitude for all of the little things.  My deepest condolences to Pamela, Stan’s children and their families.

Heartfelt condolences to Pam and all of Stan's family from Susan

Deepest condolences from your Rotary family. Stan and Pam have been a fun and loving presence in our Rotary club. We all miss Stan and always will. Pam has demonstrated “Service Above Self by continuing to serve as our Program Director. Sending loving prayers for peace to Pam and the family.

Deepest condolences from your Rotary family. Stan and Pam have always been a fun and loving presence in our club. Stan always lit up the room with his smile and fun loving and positive sense of humor. We all miss Stan and always will. Pam continues to put Service Above Self by continuing to serve as our club Program Director. Loving prayers for peace to Pam and the family.

There will be a gathering of friends and family after the inurnment at Stan and Pam's home. Address details will be given at the service.

For the past six years, Stan has ridden in the Great Cycle Challenge to raise funds for children's cancer research. Last year, he rode over 100 miles while undergoing treatment for his own cancer, and raised over $8,000 for the cause. He was very excited when he learned he was being recognized for his achievement with his picture displayed on a billboard in Times Square in New York!

There is a little less light in the world without Stan, but the heavens are indeed shining brighter. Stan was an extraordinary human being. He loved deeply and was loved back. He was a wonderful friend -kind, thoughtful, considerate, and funny. Stan the Man will be missed but remembered. For Pam and your families, our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you.

My condolences to Stan's family.  I have known Stan since Oceanside Junior High School.  His smile could light up a room.  Rest in peace  my friend.

Stan's Smile and positive thoughts is what I will miss from him a lot. For me the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched , you must be felt within. he heart. We don't have to rely on memories to recapture the spirit of those we have loved and lost ; they live within our souls in some perfect sanctuary which even death cannot destroy.  You always will be in our heart and our prayers.

No man ever set the bar higher than Stan.
As a man, husband, father, grandfather and friend.
I will miss you my friend.

An amazing man, full of life and optimism
Let all the beautiful memories live on in our hearts and souls
Here’s to “ Stan the Man”
Deb & George

Marc, I didn't know your Dad but he sure had a great smile! You can feel his positive energy in the photos. I'm truly sorry. Hang in there and sending a big hug, Alice Germanetti

I have known Stan my entire life as our mothers were best friends. 
 
The above photo is him at my Bar Mitzvah, yes Stan did have hair 

This is the last message I sent him last week.

Stan THE Man

Sorry to hear you have entered at home hospice, but at least you will have constant care AT HOME, and hopefully not in much pain.

As we enter this stage in our lives we ask, “Is that all there is.” and THE man can answer there is plenty.  Not everyone has wonderful, devoted children, grandchildren and a devoted wife who loves you.

You walked, danced through life with that wonderful upbeat attitude which is a gift not everyone is given.  You were a successful salesman and when you visited your customers, I am sure you lit up their day.

Let’s not forget lifelong friendships. I have been blessed to have known you all these years and cherish that friendship.  Heck half of Valencia Falls can say you lit up their life.

Miss you.

Actually, I sign this along with Judy who shares my love for you.

From the time he went public with his illness until he died, Stan posted uplifting messages on FaceBook everyday.  Last night, I had to remove him from my misheberach list and felt his loss all over again.  Classmate and friend, may your memory be a blessing.

To Pam and Stan's family, My deepest sympathy on Stan's passing.  He had a gift of positivity and always said he loved babies and dogs.  I'm a friend from his work at Johnson and will always remember sharing stories about family and friends.  We laughed a lot!  Pam meant so much.  I feel like I know his kids because I heard about them since they were little.  He was a very proud dad and grandfather and was so happy to be with his wonderful Pamela.  I'm sorry I can't be with you tomorrow but will be thinking of you all.

You always saw the positive in life
We loved you 
Penny and Michael

Stan was the kindest, most generous, energetic, and sweetest man.  His smile lit up a room. His children and grandchildren simply adored him; he was PopPop, Papa Stan, Stan the Man. He loved life, family, and friends so much, fought so hard, endured so much, but at the end he died at home, in peace, no pain, and for that I am so grateful. 
Stan was the love of my life, and I miss him very much.
