  10. Cheryl, Stan was my boss when I was employed in Tennesee/ Sales by Omega several years ago. I couldn’t have asked for a kinder more understanding one. He was everything that people are saying he was. My only addition to the description is his humor, he loved to laugh and , his love for you. He ALWAYS spoke of you in a loving, honoring manner. He loved you deeply, I know you will miss him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You now have a very special guardian angel that will watch over you until you join him. I pray God holds your hand through this difficult time.

  33. Stan loved Eastern Airlines! It left him and left a void in his heart. In 1991, I stood at LGA watching Boeing repossess aircraft. We love him at OWT but he has left us. I think the good Lord has repossessed His Stan. We are left with a terrible void. Love to you Cheryl. ME

  36. I worked with Stan during Eastern’s glory days. Never a nicer person to work with and know. My sincere condolences

  37. Cheryl, we are so glad we were able to share dinner last year here in Reno when Stan was…well Stan was Stan! He fought the good fight and has joined so many of our friends and family who are up there in heaven enjoying a cocktail or two (or three – comp, of course). We have so many fond memories of our times together – Barbuda, Rome, New Year’s Eve here in Reno, etc. But now he is at peace. You have been so strong throughout his ordeal and must now still be strong. Our prayers are now for you. Love, Bill and Bonnie

  38. Dearest Cheryl, you know how we all loved Stan and prayed so for his recovery, but God needed his good and tender heart I guess. I so regret my trip kept me from the memorial service. Stan was such a dear good person, and I loved his bloody marys and the wonderful times we had on the boat and here at Hidden Oaks. And you know I love you. Blessing dear one. Love, Irene

  39. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this time. It has been my privilege to work with Stan at Omega for so many years. He will be missed so very much by everyone that had the pleasure of his company. We will miss his smiling face, his concern and his attention to all the details. With heartfelt condolences, Sue Mitchell

  40. Dear Cheryl and family, Sincere condolences on Stan’s passing. He’s now dancing with the angels and free of his pain. Sending prayers for you to remember the good times of so many years and how much he truly loved you.
