I have fond memories of Stan. He was one of the first pilots I flew with at Air Florida dba Midway Express.

My condolences to the family. On planet earth he was one of the finest human beings I’ve ever crossed paths with.

My deepest and most sincere condolences for your loss. I met Stan at AF/Midway Airlines and liked him right away. I flew with him many times over the years and kept in contact with him when he went to work for the FAA. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing. My prayers and thoughts are with his family.

Candy, I am so sorry for your loss. Stan was such a nice guy. Always a kind smile and always a story to tell when he came to my office at the hangar (Flt Ops/Publications)! My condolences to your entire family.

Carmen Anderson

I am very sorry to hear about Stan’s death. We worked together at Air Florida on the DC 9 and B 737. He was always a gentleman and very professional pilot. There could have been no better qualified pilot to end up at the FAA as an airline pilot examiner. Thank you for being yourself Stan.

Prayers to your family . I worked with him at Midway I do believe and maybe SWA as well . He was a nice man .Sorry for your loss .

Dear Crum family,
It is with a heavy heart that I say goodbye to a fellow aviator and longtime friend. I and many others will miss his unwavering kindness, and friendship. Stan has taken the nonstop to heaven while we are merely waiting in the terminal. Godspeed. Fly hi my friend! Love and prayers to all of his family

What a beautiful life he lived. I’m so very sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family. Stanley will be missed.

Sadly, it has been too many years since I last spoke to Stan, but I will always remember flying with him at Air Florida so many years ago back in the 1970’s. He was a very professional Captain, and also one of the nicest and easy going person I had ever met. I particularly remember my very last conversation with Stan, it was when Midway Airlines went bankrupt and most pilots were then searching for a position with Southwest Airlines. But Stan said he had had enough of the airlines by then, and decided instead to join the FAA here at home in Fort Lauderdale. So I asked him why he decided not to take a Southwest position and he quickly replied that he had had enough of commuting just to get to work, enough of all the hotels, enough of the crazy schedules etc. Then he said ” And most of all I get to sleep in my own bed at home every night ” He obviously had a lot more sense than the rest of us. So he obviously went on to have another successful career , this time with the FAA.
Sadly, it seems like I am now receiving so many similar reports of my old flying colleges that have recently passed away.
God Bless Stan. With Condolences, Art Lynch

My prayers and good thoughts go out to Stans family. He was one of first people I flew with after joining Midway 1984 Inc. He was a true gentleman and a great mentor. RIP Stan and Godspeed !

I have great memories of Stan going back to him being a new copilot at AirFlorida.Uncle Ben, Stan, Ralph and I can trace a lot of good time. San that you are gone at such a young age. Prayers with all the Crums.

It was a pleasure to have met and worked with you Mr. Crum and I enjoyed and cherished our conversations and you will be missed brother. Love you and thank your for your contributions.

The Air Florida family just lost another one of its finest, Flew quite a few trips with Stan and it was always a pleasure when I found out it was Stan on the trip. As most of you know, I was on the first flight when Air Florida was certified and I was fortunate to have met, and got to know, people such as Stanley Crum. I join all the ones here, Jason Grieff, MarK schwartz, Carmen Anderson, Lee wandell, Darla Dimmitt, Mike Stokes, what a fun guy Mike always was, and Frank Hagney in letting the family know how sorrow we feel for your loss.

Stan “the man” Crum. I worked with Stan for 15 years. Always a gentleman, looking out for the well being of his coworkers. Because of Covid we have not been back to the office. But I know there will be a hole that will be hard to fill. I take pleasure in the fact he was a friend that I had the pleasure to meet! May God Bless his family. I know you can only see black and white right now, but the colors will come back one day. If there is anything you need please reach out to his work family. We are here for you.

Stan was so much more to me than just a friend. He was my motivator, my best cheerleader, my support system. Anything I ever strived for at work, Stan was always right there to give me positive thoughts. Always the first to congratulate me and to wish me well in anything I did. He wasn’t just a father figure, he was a GREAT friend who played an important role in my life. His compassion for others was always on display and never forgotten. He will be missed, but always loved. Rest In Peace my friend. My condolences and prayers go out to the family.

Another Angel w wings to flight instruct in heaven!!

My heart goes out to the family and all of Stans wonderful friends.

Stan has one of the most gentle souls I have ever encountered. And this is why Stan will Be the CEO of Heavens Flight Department!

All the tributes above take the words right out of my mouth and are right on.

As consistently mentioned, Stan was such a pleasure to fly and be with. One of my favorite memories with Stan – while living in FLL, my wife Marilyn with our 5 year old daughter Rachael in tow would make the 7 hour drive to visit her parents in Live Oak and we’d schedule it for them to stay at the good old Gold Key Hotel in MCO on my MCO layovers in order to split the drive in half. Fond memories of Stan hanging out by the pool with us watching Rachael jump and play in the pool. He was like ‘Uncle’ Stan. Very fond memories of those days. Condolences to the Crum Family.

My sincere condolences to the Crum Family, for sure we will miss him. I met Stan at the FAA. We worked together while helpIng others and always happy to provide support. We came to find out that we also worked at Midway during the rough years. He never complaint and always with positive attitude. Hope the family is at peace knowing that he is in a better place. Stan Rest In Peace and God’s blessings to the family.

God Bless you Stan as we worked together at Midway and then onto Carnival where we all enjoyed each others company.
Your were a True gentleman and Professional pilot that everybody respected.

What a great Man, Captain, Check Airman and Friend. All of my leadership skills are a direct result of the way Stan handle himself on the flight deck and with the people he interacted with. To this day I think of Stan every time I go flying. I am truly a richer person for having know him.

Fair winds on your final flight west my friend. Thanks for all the help.

There are many good people in the world; but Stan Crum was the best of them. A true and genuine good man, good soul, good human being. His passing has left a giant void that we can all best honor by being our better selves. I was lucky to be Stan’s First Officer and will always remember the fun times we had flying together. You will be missed Stan. We send our heartfelt prayers and condolenelces to Stan’s family. They were blessed to have him.

I remember first meeting Stan when he came to the Miami FSDO that later became a CMO. Stan and I where both assigned to Miami Air for certificate management, as well as many other team members. Stan liked to laugh and there were those among us that liked to make him laugh. Stan was an eternal gentleman and professional. I am so proud to have worked with this wonderful man. He is missed, already.

Dear Candace & family,
We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Stan was a great guy who we remember well from the Air Florida/Midway days. We both remember him for being a true gentleman with a ready smile and engaging personality. We were so happy for him when he joined the FAA after those chaotic airline years. The FAA was lucky to have him and his pilot friends were glad to know that they had a friend in the FAA!
Our deepest condolences to you all.

I wish I had known Stan when I was flying. I know I would have enjoyed flying together. Unfortunately, I didn’t get to meet him until I came to the South Florida office where he worked. Stan was alone one day after work when I first came through just getting the lay of the land. I stopped and introduced myself, and we had a great conversation. Stanley, immediately made me feel welcome and comfortable. His gentle smile and genuine thoughtfulness just radiated from him, and I could tell he was at peace with himself, and God. That peace was evident in how he interacted with everyone. I only knew him for one year, but I wish I had known him my whole life. He was that kind of man.
I will miss him. But, I know we will meet again, and we will have eternity to get to know one another.
Thank you for sharing your husband, father, and friend with us at the FAA.

As a colleague of Stan, kindly accept my deepest condolences; may his soul Rest in Peace and Rise in Glory.

My deepest condolences to the Crum family.
I’ve had the please to meet Stan when I moved to the Miami Lakes neighborhood. He always had a kind heart and a wonderful smile.
My prayers go out to the hole family as I always known the kids as children and Candy hes lovely wife.I always remember them all with love.
May you rest in peace .

As a MIA FAA Inspector, I met Stan at the Miramar office in 2017. We started talking about my travels/ bucket list around the world and Stan supported every place I had been and every place I had planned to go. After every trip, I had to give Stan a full rundown of my adventure. He even informed me of a movie called “The Bucket List” which included places I had been and planned to be. Almost daily we discussed the bucket list and plotted my next adventure. He even took an adventure up north with his wife after our many discussions and we discussed his trip in depth. He was a pleasure to know, talk with and be around and he will be sorely missed. I have lost my friend and fellow bucket list Pal. His shoes will be difficult to fill.

I send my deepest heartfelt condolences to all of Stan’s family. I cannot begin to express with adequate words the impact that Stan had on me and his entire FAA family. Stan and I had a running joke about him coming to my cubicle and “stealing” my candy. He would say “Look Jennifer, there is a puppy.” I’d look away and he would grab a handful. I told him “Stan, you don’t have to steal it” and he would say “Its more fun that way!” That said, he was always a true gentleman and always rose to the occasion whenever one of us was in need of his kindness and support. The impact he had on aviation safety will continue long past his departure. He has earned his permanent wings and has now become a guardian to watch over all airman. Rest in peace Stanley Crum…we’ll take it from here.

I had the pleasure of working with Stan for the past 8 years, I would talk to him every morning about different things. He was such a nice person and very kind. I sincerely will miss him, I offer my deepest sympathies to all his family.

Dear Stanley Crum Family,

I only saw Stanley occasionally, because I live out west. He always appeared as a humble and loveable individual, so l leave my thoughts of him. “Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Mat 18:4)

Stan was my friend and my mentor when I joined the FAA. I learned a lot from him and was always pleased when I heard his voice in the cubicle next to mine in the office. I will miss him.

Our sincere condolences to the Crum Family and we will have you in our prayers.

I have known and worked on several projects with Stan in the last 25 years.
We all meet individuals in our lives. Some leave a significant impression. Stan was one of those individuals that left a special impression in the hearts of all the people he touched.
We will all miss you Stan. My Catholic religion however ensures me that I will be joining you in heaven when my time comes, God willing.

God Bless,
Armando

I had the privilege and honor to fly with Stan as a new First Officer at Carnival Airlines. Very fond memories of a Captain who was always calm, professional and went out of his way to prepare to be a Airline Captain. Very few and beyond!

To Stan’s family;
As one of the many colleagues at the FAA mourning Stan’s passing to a better life, It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to a true Gentleman. I would like for all of Stan’s family to know that he was truly Loved at our office, we your loss, rest assured he is now in the presence of our maker where his gentle soul has landed safely. He treated us all like he wished to be treated with kindness and Love. I am sorry that due to Covid we could not be with you to say one last ’til we see you again Stan. Fly High Stan. My prayers to all of his family.

I am deeply saddened to hear the news about Stan. We not only worked together in the FAA, we were also friends. Stan always stopped by for chocolates (the ones with peanuts) and a chat whenever I was in the office. He will be remembered as a kind and gentle man; well respected and loved by all – the FAA, Miami Air International, friends and family. My sincere condolences to his loving family. God Bless you Stan as you embark on your heavenly flight home. We will miss you.

Stan and I were together in FAA Indoctrination courses at our Academy in Oklahoma City in 1998.
We also worked together at SO-29 as well.
An honor to call Stan a friend and a colleague.
Find new wings now Captain Stan.

Candace and family,
Stan was a dear cousin and I always enjoyed seeing him at the family reunions.He was a very kind and sweet person. He will be missed by so many. May he Rest In Peace in the arms of Angels And may you all find comfort in knowing that he is at peace in his heavenly home.

Jayne and I would like to offer our condolences and prayers to the Crum Family and Stan’s many friends. We all have a large hole in our hearts with his passing. There never was a kinder or gentler person than Stan. He was the sweetest man we have ever known. Stanley may you always have Full Tanks and Tailwinds.

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.”

Dear Crum family and friends,

I am honoured to have flown with Stan at Carnival Air. I can’t say anything that hasn’t been said. I’m in awe of Stan and the grounding, calming, gentle (but very capable) presence he brought to being our Captain and role model. I really love what was said previously of Stan being at peace with himself, and God. Stan, I aspire to be more like you, thank you for being you.
My heartfelt condolences to Stanley’s family for your loss.
Stan showed us how it should be done.
Rest easy good gentleman and give a hug to our other (too soon) departed KW family.

The first month with Air Florida I flew with Stan. He was very helpful. And he will be sorely missed. Our condolences to his family.
Hogan and Lois.

Stan would always find an interest in others and made them feel good. He was such a gentle soul and we will miss him dearly. I knew him for about 10 years and am better from knowing him. Prayers and condolences to his family.

Dear Candi and Family,
I was deeply saddened when I learned of Stan’s passing. I will fondly remember the months I flew with Stan and my visits with you and Stan and your (at the time) young children. I would be hard pressed to find a finer person to call a friend. Stan was a true gentleman.
You will be missed, my friend.

Oh yeah Stan, I’ve got some times for you.
