Dear Carita and Family... 
 
 
 
I was deeply saddened to hear about the passing of Stan. My prayers are with you and your family. I worked with Stan at the Edgewater Garage and enjoyed every moment that I hung out with Stan. He was admired by many as shown by the support he got from his crews. I would be hard pressed to find a better leader. He will be truly missed, but never forgotten. May you Rest In Peace...my friend.

Dear Carita, 
 
Very sorry to hear about Stan. My prayers are with you and your family. I worked with Stan and Bobby at the news agency when we were kids. One of Stan's duties was as the 'troubleshooter' who went out to help the slower kids finish up their morning routes in time to make it to school, so I saw him pretty often back then. For me, he was the ultimate in coolness and always had my respect and admiration. The last time I saw you both was at our 20th reunion and he was the same then as I had remembered him in my youth. I hope you find some comfort knowing that he was such a great guy that left a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Carita: 
 
I am soooooooo sorry to hear about Stan. I know he was ill but never imagined it to be so bad. Joanne told Carol yesterday (12/26) which made it even worse that I was not able to attend the services. As you know, we grew up together and even though I hadn't seen him for quite some time I always loved him like a brother that I never had. Again I am sorry and hope you all the best in the coming months.

Dear Carita: 
 
 
 
We were so sorry to learn of Stan's illness and that he passed away last week. Having known you and your family for so many years and attending many Malloy parties, I enjoyed my many conversations with him about the phone business. It's obvious from the many comments of his former co-workers that he was well-liked and respected among his peers. Knowing you all as long as we have, its obvious that he was loved by his family as well. What a nice tribute and we hope you find solace in that fact during this difficult time. All of the Kempner’s and Malloy’s will remain in our thoughts and prayers.

Carita and Family, 
 
I was a tester/dispatcher from Lakv-Edge-Rogers area & knew Stan as a great leader with great compassion for his group & was terrific with our IBT customers. He always set great values & stood-up for & protected his group.It was a great pleasure to be able to work with Stan. May you find comfort knowing he was greatly appreciated by his peers at work and a great friend to us all, on duty and off duty. We just never had enough bosses such as Stan with his wisdom and knowledge and the respect that he befell upon us with the same admiration and respect he returned to us. He will be deeply missed by so many!

Our Condolences to the Stan Kempner family on your loss. My the Good Lord always keep him in the Palm of His Hands. Stan was a Great Telephone man and a good leader. When I came up to North Area from Central Division back in the late 80's, I took over his crew, he showed me all the areas in Lakeview,Rogers Park, and Edgewater. He was a great help to me back then, he could solve all kinds of telephone problems and will be truley missed. My oldest son John, who also worked in Edgewater knew him from the Edgewater District. Rest in Peace Stan. God Bless.

Dearest Carita and family, 
 
 Our thoughts and prayers are with you. As you Know Stan Was my boss at the phone company for many years but since I first met him some 25 years ago because of his caring nature and great sense of humor I never thought of him as a boss I've only thought of him as my friend. We will all miss him tremendously.
