I am very sorry for our lost of an important participant in our WG and also in the IETF community. My condolences to Stan's family and friends.
A nice person and great manager. He have worked hard to make this WG function to its best performance. I really enjoyed discussions with him while the WG working on DLEP, he always makes discussions simple and with pleasure. I think he also requested this coming IETF meeting 106 schedule.
Thanks Alvaro for this message, and yes he will be really missed.

I include this message to ietf list, which I think it should become a procedure for IETF, as if any of our participants passes away (specially current WG co-chair) that this IETF general discussion list gets a post/condolence, so that we maintain social relations in the IETF community.

_______________________________________________Dear WG:It is with great sadness that I want to let you all know that Stan passed away last week; he was only 63. A Celebration of His Life was held today in Oklahoma City, where we was born. Please include his wife and son in your prayers.Stan was an active contributor to the IETF for many years, including his long-tenure as manet Chair.. Among other work, he was a co-author of DLEP (rfc8175), which represents the bulk of the current activity in the WG.On a personal note, Stan and I both worked at cisco for many years. In fact, it was him who introduced me to ad-hoc networking! We worked together on several (mostly internal) projects related to manet, including rfc7137. He was always easy to get along with, but also didn’t mince words when expressing his opinion. Always a pleasure to work with!Thank you Stan! You will be missed!Alvaro.
