One of Stanley’s and Silvia’s greatest passion was traveling, they traveled extensively to many different parts of the world together and made unforgettable memories and beautiful friendships along the way. Playing bridge together was their biggest pass time for many years in Argentina, California, and eventually Florida. They played passionately and very competitively.

After many years of memories and adventures with the family in Florida, Silvia passed away in March of 2021. Leaving behind her amazing husband, Stanley and the rest of the family. Having spent fours years without his best friend and partner, Stanley is now reunited with Silvia. Stanley was a present grandfather for both his two grandchildren and was a very proud one at that. From Carolina perusing her art dreams and keeping her artwork all over his house, to coming to visit Melina at her Optical job every time he went to Costco to shop. He always made sure to tell them how proud and astonished he was of them. Both Melina and Carolina have had the best of relationships with their grandparents and will always have the memories, the laughter, and the love and support they gave them. Stanley in their eyes will always be the best grandfather two young women could ask for. In his last years, Stanley was able to share good times with his younger brother Billy and his wife Sheila and their two sons Jordan and Mitchell and their families. He spent more time with his two daughters and granddaughters. Stanley made sure to have the four of them over to his house for dinner on Wednesdays and breakfast on Sundays. He cooked for them each and every time, but quite often he would kick them out early to watch his Tennis tournaments and football games, no matter where lived he would always be a die hard fan of the LA Dodgers and the NY Giants. Stanley was humorous, loving, sometimes obnoxious, always smiling, and most of all loved by so many who crossed his path in his 93 years of life. He will be remembered with a smile and a cigar in between his teeth. Stanley will be greatly missed and the memories of him will be cherished forever.
