Fran and family, Stanley was one of my best friends and sorry for his passing. We worked together for years in WSX and he always had a smile on his face. Janna and Robbie I taught how to swim. Stanley could be proud of all his kids. The Hamills loved all the Sagans and Stanley was one of the best. I will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Sincerely, Jerry Haimmm
