Stan’s been a part of our family since he was a teenager. Whether at my parents’ house, my brother’s house, or our house, any family gathering, celebration, birthday, or holiday always included Stan. At our house there were game nights, party nights, or just sit-and-listen-to-music nights, and Stan’s music choices and dry wit were always a highlight of the evening. One Christmas Eve, sheerly out of love and totally out of his comfort zone, Stan even agreed to dress as Santa for our out-of-town nieces and nephews.
My parents took Stan under their wing as a second son especially after the death of his parents, but it wasn’t until Thanksgiving at Stan’s house that Mom made him in charge of making the turkey gravy. It was then that I knew it was an official adoption. Mom, as all good Italian mothers, didn’t let just anyone prepare the food. Stan soon became an expert meatball roller, gravy stirrer, and all-around sous chef.
However, he came this close to losing that honor the Christmas that Mom’s cooking landed him in the Emergency Room. Mom had gifted Stan with one of his all-time-favorites: a full tin of homemade coconut macaroons. Stan proceeded to take them home and consume the entire tin that night. It was then that he discovered he was diabetic. Mom never lived that down.
My brother knew Stan for over fifty years, and he said that saw Stan cry only once—at the death of my Dad. Stan was truly a member of our family.
With deepest condolences to Stan's family,
Ginny D'Ambrosio Swinson
