Born and raised in Queens, New York he attended P.S. 147, followed by one year at Andrew Jackson High School before transferring to the Food and Maritime Trades High School in New York City (Class of 1967).

He was a fan of music, muscle cars, television and movies. You could always find him at the grill during any family barbeque. He was a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and uncle.

Uncle Stan, it's incredibly hard to believe that this is real. First Uncle Al, then my father, and now you. This past year has really been brutal. But I can take some comfort in knowing you're all together again, and eventually we'll all be. You were a huge part of my life. You first introduced me to home video game consoles, a love I still carry today, even having to come over to hook up Nintendo for me, because I and my parents didn't understand much about electronics back then. And more than half of the movies I grew up watching that defined my childhood I owe to you, always bringing home the latest new releases from the video stores. And, of course, it wasn't a family Bar-B-Cue without you manning the grill. Thanks for all the smiles and happy memories. You're forever in our hearts. Until we meet again, RIP.

Love, Michael.

Daddy,
I love you with every ounce of my heart. You were my daddy. I never stopped calling you that no matter how old I got. The things I like most about myself are traits I have from you. 39 years was not enough time together, I’d gladly take 39 more if I could. I will miss you every second of my life. Thank you for every single moment we had together. Thank you for being the best father from the day I was born. It was all a pleasure. All of it.
I love you.
Love always,
Rini
