I would like to extend my sympathies to Stans' family.  I knew Stan as a fellow member at the Knights of Columbus.  It was always a pleasure when I got an opportunity to speak with Stan.  He was a very informed and passionate person.  The conversations we had over the years were widely diverse from family to politics and everything in between and always entertaining.  Stan was a good man and will be missed by all who knew him.
