Dear Cheryl: I had the extreme pleasure to have worked with Stan at Omega for 5 years and cannot say how sad I was to learn of Stan’s passing. He was the all seeing all knowing gentle person most men wish they could be. A gentle giant in class. I will think of him often and try to carry on his gentle manner. Stan is now at peace and in a better place. He will be missed by many. God love him. Bill Mercier
Mrs Carter Our thoughts are with YOU. As our President has departed his pain and suffering, he leaves behind legendary memories that are difficult to believe. Without a doubt, Stan is at work arranging for all of us to move to the front of the line when we join him, and to provide us with full comps….. Love
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.
Dear Cheryl, We fondly remember our skiing holidays with you and Stan and exend our sincere condolences to you and the family. Bill & Nancy Delahanty

Dear Cheryl. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you.
We had some wonderful times and great memories that we will always cherish. We will miss Stan but now he will no longer suffer and be in pain and for that we are happy!
Dear Cheryl, His earthly suffering has ended, your Stan is now in the hands of God. He left us with such fond memories. You were great next door neighbors for many years. I was so pleased when you and Stan would return to the Court for a spell of house-sitting and we could enjoy a glass of fine wine and converse as if you’d never left the Court. May God be with you in your loss and may God Bless and Welcome Stan with open arms.
God Bless you, Stan.
Both Chuck and I send our sincere condolences to you and your family, Cheryl! So many wonderful memories to keep you close forever! Sending blessings for comfort and peace. Thinking of you…Anne & Chuck

Dear Cheryl, I was saddened today to hear of Stan’s passing. He was one of the very best “Good guy’s”. I remember fondly all the great times we had, and the extraordinary people we met during the glory day’s at Eastern. He will surely be missed, but his legacy and memory will carry on. Sincere Condolences! Tobey
Please accept my deepest sympathy in your time of loss – “Say not in grief that he is no more but say in thankfulness that he was. A death is not the extinguishing of a light, but the putting out of the lamp because the dawn has come.” (The Funeralhelper)
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
It has been a great honour to know Stan. I wish all the best to his family during this time of mourning. Barry
Stan, You were a leader, dedicated professional, mentor, loyal friend and a courageous individual that knew how to live life. You were one of the nicest guys on the planet. Everyone that knew you will truly miss you! Frank Powers
I worked with Stan during Eastern’s glory days. Never a nicer person to work with and know. My sincere condolences
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
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
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
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.
