Stanley lived a life full of merit, graduating from Tufts University and UCONN School of Law.  Outside of his professional career, he lived for kvelling about his grandchildren, model trains, UCONN women’s basketball and he would often walk miles in the streets of New York while sampling copious amounts of pastries.
