I only met Stan this year when I took over from him as Chairman of ShareSoc. I thoroughly enjoyed every interaction with him, whether it was mentoring for my new role or our discussions about flying. At our last meeting the directors of ShareSoc expressed a vote of thanks to Stan for his work, help and guidance. Everyone at the Madrid WFI meeting was asking about him, and I have had requests to pass on condolences to you from the board of ShareSoc and also from: Mouiche Moise Guillermo Gonzalez Gabriel Tratjenberg Maria Brandstetter Lars-Erik and Elisabet Forsgardh Elisaveta Lindstrom Andrey Lesovoy Frank Kaneko Wilfried Huebscher Maric Rajko Hachem Boulos Stan had a rare combination immense gravitas and a wry sense of humour, which seems to have touched everyone he met.
