Stan was an amazing man. So full of life. It was a pleasure knowing him. Taxes are usually an awful time of year and Stan made it pleasant. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. He will be forever remembered. Definitely taken too soon.

Who says that they look forward to tax time? Well we certainly did because it meant an hour spent with Stan. While business did get done, we had so much fun with Stan that our cheeks hurt when we left because we had laughed so hard and so much. Stan's personality was almost as big as his heart. He will be missed terribly and our hearts go out to his family and all his friends who will certainly feel the void that has been left by his passing.

We were so deeply affected in finding that Stan had passed on. We saw him at tax time this year and we had every hope that he would beat his most challenging health issues. With his wonderful attitude and his charming sense of humor, we just expected that he would overcome...
Stan was our Tax Guy, but he was more than that. Every year, we looked forward to catching up and sharing stories about all sorts of subjects. Stan made paying taxes as pleasant as is possible, even humorous! He wasn't just a Number Cruncher. Although we saw him only once a year, he became a dear friend-someone we loved to hang out with.
Stan will be sorely missed. The world has lost a shining star who smiled broadly and laughed heartily and made even the most unpleasantest of tasks a fun event. We extend our most heartfelt condolences to his family and friends who were so fortunate to have had him in their lives...

Stan Patek will be deeply missed. I was only a client, but I also saw him from time to time with mutual friends. Trustworthy, energetic and always cheerful, he made paying taxes almost fun. He was taken from us too soon.
Goodbye, Stan. Thanks for everything.

Stan was my accountant for 20 years. He had a wonderful quality of making you feel better about anything that bothered you. He had a great outlook on life that everyone should have. Just seeing his smile was a gift, and if you got a chance to be a part of his life, even in some small way, you were lucky.

Stan helped me greatly when my husband passed. His joyful smile and boundless energy were a blessing. My heart goes out to his wife, family, and friends who will truly feel his loss. I guess God needed another angel around the throne tonight.
