Christine and famly,
I am truely sorry to hear of Stan's passing.
I had spoken with him a few months back and he and I shared some of our old memories playing music together.
He was a good friend to me and I know that many of our old friends like me will miss him.

Sorry to hear about Stan, he will be missed. He was such a nice guy. I remember him from playing guitar in Avila's band at my house during high school. He was a great friend and always kept you smiling. God Bless you and your family. I send Love and Prayers to you all.

Chris, & Stan, & Sherry
It's been quite some time since I saw any of you, & sad that now it has to be for something like this. You all have my deepest sympathies. You know "Stan" will be missed by all of us. I didn't see him as often, as maybe I should have, but we did keep in touch. I wish I'd have known sooner. I am surprised that no one called me to tell me. Chris if you could contact me, I would appreciate it. My number & e-mail address should be in the "Blackberry." Also if there's anything I can do don't hesitate to call, or contact me. Again you have my "Deepest" sympathies, and hope to hear from you soon.
Love
Jerry

Dear Christine & Family,

Please accept my deepest sympathies. I knew Stan from his Met days. Afterwards, I used to run into him jogging around Morraine Valley, or during gigs he played in the area. He never failed to bring at least a smile to my face.
