Stanley Gerald Rosen

Ian, Helen and the Rosen families. Ben and I were shocked to learn of Stan’s tragic passing. We are so sorry for all of you and send our deepest condolences. B

To the Rosen Family. I have known Stan since we were 18 years old. Stan was one of those guys you never forget. He was a good guy , had a great personality and lots of fun to be around. I remember the days with the late Howie Weinstein and the stunts these guys pulled over the years. You never wanted to mess with Stan Rosen or Howie Weinstein that's for sure. Really surprised Stan never went into comedy as he was a natural. We did keep in touch over the years and it was great to talk to Stan and be with him. I am shocked to hear this very sad news and give my thoughts and prayers to Stans children and grandchildren. He was a real character and a good guy that will be missed by a lot of people.

Condolences to the whole Rosen family. When Stash ran onto the football field for Mackenzie CI the other team started to bite their nails. He was a force to be reckoned with in all facets of life. Perry & Sharon Raibmon

I am shocked to hear the tragic news. I will always remember Stan’s beautiful energy all through Dufferin and Mackenzie. There are no words, just the love and support in your sadness and loss

Ian, Helen and Rosen family, I’m so sorry for your loss. My deepest condolences. Flip back the clock 60 years, when Stan and I met as kids, we became best of friends. We were inseparable for many years all through high school. I have such great memories that are ded in my mind and in my being. We drifted apart after high school but reconnected several years ago, and we would run into each other every so often to catch up and have some good chats. Stan, you were a good guy and a good friend! …..RIP

Dear Ian, Helen and Rosen Family. Our families go back many decades and I remember Stanley from our school days. I’m so very sorry to hear of his passing. May you find strength at this difficult time and May his memory always be a blessing.

you were my mentor through my youth and always loved you .your stories will forever be told and remembered ..this is a great loss for all of us YOU AND HOWIE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN WATCH OUT HEAVEN

I am so sorry to hear of Stan's unexpected passing. We spoke last week about getting together this week. He was an incredible man, with a huge heart, who seemed to take care of everyone around him. Sending much strength and sympathies to his whole family and to all those who had the pleasure of meeting, seeing, working and just being with Stan. He will be deeply, deeply missed.

Sending condolences on Stan’s passing. I remember him well from the bathurst manor days. Dufferin teen club and hanging out as teenagers do. He was a very funny and a quite ..in ur face kind of guy. Never a dull moment with Stan. He was always smiling. May his memory be a blessing.

To the entire Rosen family , I have known Stan for many many years. Not only was Stan a friend he was family . Stanley loved my father like a brother. The daily phone calls my dad got from Stan were not just any phone calls they were special and always hilarious to listen to. Stanley and his humour was really unexplainable . He knew how to make us all laugh . I was talking to Stan last week on the phone and I couldn’t stop laughing by the things he was saying to my dad. He was on speaker phone so we were all laughing together. I will forever remember that conversation and keep it close to my heart . Your legacy will live on forever . I still can’t believe this is true . You will forever be missed . I love you Stanley .

My condolences to all of Stan's family on the loss of a true original. I hope you don't mind I share a few thoughts. That picture of Stan as a Captain of the Mackenzie Lions is so apropo. Us younger guys were about 12 or 13 years old when we were hearing from Ian and other guys in the neighborhood that Mackenzie were beating all the other schools. I remember Ian taking a group of us to Mackenzie to see Stan and of course Howie who I believe was the running back. We were so proud that a team with so many Jewish kids were the best in their division. Stan was King of the Manor and he ruled it with his Co-King Howie W. Once he had his two-tone Brown Monte Carlo with the swivel seats, he had his chariot. I first heard Barry White, Al Green and Tower of Power on that stereo of his. I don't know how he drove that car wearing his authentic wooden clogs in the mid 70s. And funny he sure was. I remember we went to Centennial Rink to watch Ian play. The game before the score was like 13 -0. Stan get up and starts yelling with that voice at the losing coach .. "Pull the goalie.... Pull the goalie". 50 years later I'm still laughing. 5 years later he insists I take 2 weeks of my summer holiday to give the home improvement business a shot. I end up in a car with Stan, Neil and Shelly Cash as our closer. I didn't make a red cent but I would have paid hundreds for that experience, it was like having front row seats in Vegas at the best comedy show. Stan knew every item on the menu at the Wexford in Scarborough where we went to eat almost everyday, either there or at a place on O'Connor road their second favorite restaurant. He was his own unique version of Don Rickles. I remember the fun at his sandwich place at Eglinton and Redpath. Summer nights during high School when we all slept on his floor at Canyon Road. The arm wrestling competitions etc. Finally in the winters of 2005 through 2008 I'd spend a month on the beach in Cartagena. And there he was the King of the Manor had become the King of Cartagena. We lay there everyday, him covered in oil soaking up that sun that he loved. I'll never forget that gigantic smile of his, he loved it. Rest in peace big guy.

Josh and Lindsey, my sincere condolences on the loss of your dear father. Im thinking of you.

Ian and family, I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved brother. My heartfelt condolences to all of you. I wish you strength at this difficult time. May Stan's memory be a blessing. My thoughts are with you.

To IAN and the Rosen Family, My deepest condolences on your loss. Shocked to hear of Stanley's passing, memories of the many good times we all shared, growing up, will always remain in my heart. Stashu was a very special guy with a big heart, terrific personality & a great sense of humor. May only good memories bring you strength throughout this very difficult time.

To the Rosen Family, My deepest and heartfelt condolences on your loss. I was so shocked today to hear of Stanley's untimely passing. I have many wonderful memories of the good times we shared during our high school years, watching Stan play football with Jeff S, Howie M and Howie W. etc, in your home on Cocksfield Ave. and in your apartment on Canyon Ave. Those memories and more will always bring a smile to my face. Stan had a big heart, a great sense of humor and an infectious laugh. May the good memories you shared bring you strength and comfort throughout this very difficult time.

Ian and family. So sorry for your loss. Just saw Stan a few weeks ago and reminisced about his football playing days at Mackenzie and told me a very funny story about my cousin from the old days. My heart and thoughts are with all of you during this most difficult time. May his memory be a blessing to all of you

Josh and Lindsey, As you know there are no words that can be said that help to make sense of the shock, rollercoaster of emotion and deep sadness in your hearts. I am sending you both love, light and above all peace for your soul as you bravely take each day as it comes and embrace the love around you as you do so. May his memory be a blessing and may the stories you will tell forevermore be the spark of love and joy that he brought to all of you.

Deepest Heartfelt Condolences to the Rosen Family. I had the opportunity to work with Stan every summer many years ago before I graduated as a Chiropractor. Best lessons of Life were learned during those years. He was such a force, hard worker and his zest for life. I'm so thankful for these times . May your fond memories give you comfort during this difficult period.

Josh, Lindsay and family We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Stan. There are simply no words at this moment that we can say to ease the heartache and void you are all feeling. Please take comfort in knowing that you are all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. We will remember Stan has a friendly neighbour of which we always exchanged a friendly hello and small talk when we would see him. He was very proud and fond of his family!! . May he rest in eternal peace!! A donation in his honour and memory will be made to the Peter Munk Flunfation. Steve, Vicki, cassia and Christian Di Pierdomenico

my deepest sympathies to Ian, Josh and the rest of their families

A friend that I will sorely miss. Deepest sympathies, Danny Meghory

My deepest condolences to Stan's family. He was one of the first people I met when I came to Canada and we worked together for about 8 years but we always stayed in touch after I moved on. He knew all kinds of shortcuts and all the best places to eat. He laughed from from his heart, he told great stories and jokes and he will always be remembered for calling everybody a *%#@$^ HEAD. I use this expression all the time myself ever since. He will be missed very much. RIP my friend.

Josh, Lindsey, and kids, I only met your dad/papa once but feel like I knew him for my whole life because of all the incredible stories Josh has told me over the years. Josh, the love that you have for your father is so special and clearly speaks to what a special man he is. Thinking of you all and by your side on this journey. Lots of love, Jonathan
