While the accompanying obituary covers as lot of very worth ground, allow me to add a bit more. I am who I am today in no small part due to the kindness and guidance Stan showed and save me through most of the last 44 years. Why he chose to hire me to work a the then-new JCC is still not entirely clear, but I knew I needed to return his faith, and I am better for the opportunity. He was a boss, mentor and friend in equal parts. Stan would show himself to be fair and (sometimes brutally) honest in all his dealings with me. I learned accountability and perseverance through Stan's tuti ledge in addition to some great stories, and no less than one joke which will always tick with me. Thank you Stanley, for everything, and thanks to Sue for sharing him so well; and to Rob, Bruce and Barry (of blessed memory) for being a huge part of his life,and mine.
