Such a great and wonderful and kind man. We were blessed to have him become a part of our family. Great memories of all our family get together. We will miss him dearly. All our love to all of you.
Aunt Vera,
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to you and your family with the passing of Uncle Stanely. I will remember him as such a cheerful and enthusiastic Uncle and will cherish the long talks we had about life and experiences. Still remember the great time we had meeting in Vegas where he was able to meet our son Brandon and joined in a fun filled night with Drew, and other family members, at one of his shows there. As the last remaining member of the orginal Dobkowski family, he will be long remembered by us.
Our deepest sympathy to Vera and family on the loss of our precious friend Stanley.
We love and admire Stanley; his warm personality and terrific sense of humor will never be forgotten.
Stanley will be remembered in our daily prayers, and we will miss the wonderful friendship we shared him. May he rest in eternal peace. We will meet again, Stan.
With deep sadness,
Hank and Lorraine
May I express how saddened I was to learn of Stanley’s passing. I was Stanley’s night CNA at Montowese and all I can say he was one of the nicest men there was. Always a kind word and a smile. Let’s not forget all the jokes he shared. I will never forget him, a true gentleman. Rest easy Stanley.
Vera,
My love – I’m sending you big hugs! Stan was such a character always laughing and making fun of you 🙂 My deepest condolences to you and your family. I miss you!! Love always, Tia xoxox
