I just found out about the news today.
Stanley will always have a place in my heart. He had a way of inspiring me and motivationg me by just talking to me. He always had a nice things to say and made going to school so enjoyable. He is gone from the earth but is forever in our hearts.

Mr. Walfish encouraged many students in so many ways. He encouraged us to be proper and thoughtful, yet to stand up for yourself in an appropriate way when the situation called for it. He encouraged hard work, and many of my accomplishments today are due to him. One of my personal interests he instilled in me was poetry. I began to write poems for the Jewish holidays and other events and would always leave a copy on his desk. I would like to share one of Mr. Walfish's favorite poems (written by Linda Ellis). He referred to it often and it was an interesting approach on how to live your life.
His guidance did not leave his students when they left school, and it will not leave us now that he is no longer with us. Needless to say, Mr. Walfish's dash will have lasting effects many years after 2016.
Thank you for all that you have done for me. Thank you for all that you have done for all your students!
BDE/RIP Mr. Walfish.
I read of a man who stood to speak
at the funeral of a friend.
He referred to the dates on the tombstone
from the beginning…to the end.
He noted that first came the date of birth
and spoke the following date with tears,
but he said what mattered most of all
was the dash between those years.
For that dash represents all the time
that they spent alive on earth.
And now only those who loved them
know what that little line is worth.
For it matters not, how much we own,
the cars…the house…the cash.
What matters is how we live and love
and how we spend our dash.
So, think about this long and hard.
Are there things you'd like to change?
For you never know how much time is left
that can still be rearranged.
If we could just slow down enough
to consider what's true and real
and always try to understand
the way other people feel.
And be less quick to anger
and show appreciation more
and love the people in our lives
like we've never loved before.
If we treat each other with respect
and more often wear a smile,
remembering that this special dash
might only last a little while.
So, when your eulogy is being read,
with your life's actions to rehash…
would you be proud of the things they say
about how you spent YOUR dash?

Stan and I grew up together in the Eastchester housing project. We lived in the same building, his family on the 3rd floor and mine on the 4th floor. We knew each other since about 1950. We were close friends who enjoyed handball, basketball, photography, going into Manhattan to see the N.Y. Knicks play the Boston Celtics or spending summer days at the Shorehaven pool club. One summer we both were waiters at the same sleep away summer camp. After college when I left New York City and eventually moved to Los Angeles we lost touch with one another until about 17 years ago when we somehow reconnected via email and then met several times through the years when my wife and I were on the East Coast visiting family or our daughter in college. The last time I spoke with Stan was this past October when we were in New York for a few days and I had hoped to see him but it didn't work out.
When I heard of his passing it is if a vital piece of my youth has been taken from me. A connection to happy times and good friendship is now gone and I am deeply saddened by this loss.

I was shocked when I read in the Asbury Park Press of Stan's passing. We worked together at IS 61 in Staten Island. He was a inspirational teacher to his students. He made social studies come alive. Even though he was unhappy at first in this placement, he never let the students know. After I left this school, we kept in contact with him and Sara, visiting them first at his condo and then in Westlake. After Sara passed, Stan was much more somber. He had lunch at our new place in Manchester and spoke on the phone often. As a matter of face, we talked only recently about going out to lunch at the Jackson Diner, since he couldn't drive too far.
My only solice in losing Stan is knowing that he and Sara are together again. There was so much love between them.
