I’m turning to find Stanley Stefanski who was client of USTrust.  Scesney Says

Dear Marilyn, Stan, Frank, Mike and Debbie,
           First we want to tell you that we are very sorry about your fathers passing. We will cherish our long friendship and the memories of good times we had together. Our days at Johnsons Motel will always be vivid in our memory.
      We counted your father and mother among our dearest friends and am certain that they are rejoined in Heaven.
       May the Good Lord bless each of you and your families in this time of sorrow.  Be comforted in the knowledge that your Father lived a good and productive life.
Love to you all – Dick and Lynne Allen

My condolences to the Stefanski family.
John Ferris

To: Marilyn , Stan , Frank , Mike , and Debbie
Everybody will tell you how much they loved and admired your Dad. I’d like to tell you how much I know he loved you. His eyes would light up with pride each time he spoke about any one of you. Joyce and I always felt close to Doris and Stan going back to the days at the Bernardsville Inn.
Please stay in touch.

I shall always have good memories of Stan and my relationship while we were working at RCA in Marion.
I regret hearing of his death.
Sincerely  Russell A, Goff

Frank, Karen and the Stefanski family,
We were so sorry to hear about the loss of your father.  Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time.
Elaine, Jeff, Zachary & Abby

Dear Stan,
       It was with much sorrow that I learned of the passing of your Dad. It was a pleasure and honor to have worked with him for many years. I’ll always remember he and I coaching championship Little League baseball team. Of course, we did have a pretty fair southpaw on the mound. May the Lord comfort you in this time of grief. God bless you.
Nick Meena

I would like to thank all of our relatives and dear friends for all the support and kind words of comfort you have given us during this heartbreaking time.  I will keep the memories of my father close to me, visit them often,  and never forget how wonderful and kind he was as a person and a Dad.
Love,
Debbie and family

Please accept our sympathy for your loss.  Stan was a very good friend and one of my sponsors through out my career with RCA.  He was able to recognize the potential of individuals based upon the individual personality and not on education or political ability.  I have always been grateful to him for the faith he showed in me and the knowledge he gave me. 
Those who worked for him would say, "If he told us to jump off a cliff, we would do it because we knew he would be there to catch us at the bottom". He always supported us even when we were wrong, not to say that when he had us alone we knew we would catch it.  A great man and a great loss, I will miss him, knowing that he won’t be there when I need his counsel.
Joe Himelick

To Marilyn, Jeannie, Brian, Abby, Josh, and the entire Stefanski family,

Our prayers go out to the family.
Tom, Liz, Jake, Julie , Joshua, Margaret.

To the Effingham family our prays are with you and your father that he my rest in peace and comfort. We are there if you need us just let us know.

Hi Deb,
I am so, so sorry for your loss. Please know that you and your family are in my prayers as you grieve the passing of your father.
Namaste,
Caroline

We offer our heart felt condolences for your loss. May the Lord bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
The Bishop Family.

To my brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, son, spouses, relatives, and friends:
Thank you so much for all you have done, especially you Marilyn who cared for dad 17 years. I now know how important it was to dad to have family by his side since Mom’s death and to comfort him during a battle he knew he could not win. As expected, he rarely complained and found comfort knowing family was with him.
I’ll miss him forever and find comfort knowing how close we all are; let’s never lose that. Dad’s probably dancing with Mom, seeing his parents and brothers, and will be the first to greet us in time.
Stan

We miss you PapPap. 
Love your great-grandchildren,
Abby & Josh xoxo
