My memories of Stan during and after my time at State Street have been and will forever be etched in my mind. In my career, I have not worked with a more cerebral colleague who had the uncanny ability to solve for very complex problems yet have the ability and desire to explain his solutions in the most understandable, logical, soft-spoken way imaginable – Stan’s way!
On 9/11 and the 5 days following, 10 of us from State Street experienced Stan’s coolness under pressure as we were stranded in Denver. Stan had a selflessness and calmness about him during that extremely stressful and trying time, which greatly impacted our team in an extraordinary way.
I will miss him very much. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
