Stanley loved life and made sure to live every moment with grace and purpose, he collected hobbies that allowed him to dive in headfirst – cooking, gardening, winemaking, travelling, reading, golf and bowling. He made sure to keep his family involved by sharing the spoils of his garden and the pride of his first successful bottle of wine. He enjoyed travelling and made sure to do it as often as possible, frequently visiting England and the far and middle east. He enjoyed opera, specifically Giacomo Puccini’s “La bohème.” Stanley was a member of many community centered groups: The Rotary Club of RI, the Aurora Club, OLLI, Tin Can Sailors, the National Postcard Association, and the US Naval Officers Candidate School.

His love for learning was enriched by Temple Sinai’s adult education classes, he thrived in the classroom setting and made sure to inform his “daughter”, friend and healthcare quarterback Dina, about all the interesting historical facts that he learned that week.
