"I often reflect on the dedicatory words written by David Adler on his photo which hangs on the wall in Stan's home study along with those of other great scientists/friends such as Linus Pauling and I. I. Rabi:
"To Stan, who taught me how to live, and how to think, and made it possible for me to do both".  The loss of this great man, my father, is incalculable."

"Here I go again, but the world day by day is CONFIRMING Stan's(and his team-Iris-Rosa- others) GENIUS.  History hadn't totally firmed up before his passing.  But We All (for the good of mankind) should carry forward that GENIUS!!  We read daily the probs with Lithium batteries,Chevy Volt/Fisker Electric/A123/LG CHEM/Boeing the success of MICRON with PCM,Solar cells @ grid parity. TX STAN"

"To the man who inspired me the minute i saw him on the Huel Howsers show drinking a glass of alge water,I just learned of his passing now and the second I did, I can only say I felt a loss to the planet and felt my hear drop and said"Oh no".I can only hope that someone with half his passion and intelligence will pick up the ball"

"Thank you"

"As a young guy on Phase-Change Memory, I always benefit from the most important cornerstone on PCM from Sir Ovshinsky. He is real great man in science and modern technology. We will miss him forever and work further on PCM following Stan in future. Rest In Peace !"

"“It is hard to find words to express the grief of loosing Stan. I grew up as a scientist on his patents and papers back in the early 1970s. I owe him so much. Stan was a brilliant scientist, a great inventor. He leaves a legacy that is meaningful.
May your soul rest in peace, Stan.""

"I was lucky to meet Stan in person at EPCOS conferences in Europe several times. He always brought excellent and visionary type lectures. I admired him very much as a scientist and as a kind and supportive human being. I wish him peaceful rest."

"Stan was a great pioneering scientist and inventor, as well as a warm-hearted and caring man. He was an inspiration to me and to many many others. He is irreplaceable and will be greatly missed by me personally and by all in the phase-change scientific community. May he rest in peace.

"Stan"s mother and my father were brother and sister, therefore Stan was my first cousin.  My mother always called him "My nephew the genius" long before the world came to know him.  I remember him as the big brother of Herb, who was my childhood playmate. I have read  the tributes to Stan, and how many lives he  touched. I feel blessed that Stan was in my life.  Cousin Esther'l"

"Thank you for develop the NiMH battery for the world.

(Sorry for my english is not good.)"

"Stan accepted me as a trainee in ECD in 1983 after I finished Ph. D thesis.  It was a great experience to work as a part of the ECD family.  Last summer, I saw Stan and Rosa for the first time more than ten years.  Stan was very passionate to talk on his research topics.  My wife and I were encouraged a lot.  It is unbelievable to hear such sad news.  I believe his will be eternal."

"Stan lives on: through his inventions as demonstrated in his work and through colleagues; through his values as transmitted to his children, grandchildren and friends; through his thoughts and conversatios through acquaintances and even those who met him briefly and were stimulated by what he said and did (as we all were). As long as he is remembered-and he will be remembered-he lives on."

"I am truly at a loss for words to describe Stan's influence on me.Thank you for 23 memorable years at ECD."

"Stan led an exemplary life.  He was an inspiration to all who met him and he will continue to be an inspiration long after his passing.  My condolences go out to his entire family.  Rest in Peace, Stan.  Thank you for everything!"

"Stan will be long remembered by all of us as one who was very polite and active man, who devoted all his life to inventions and science, to service of mankind. We regard it as an honor and privilege to have known him personally and he will be remembered with gratitude by all of us. Thank you Stan and rest in peace.

"You changed the world and inspired me, thank you."

"Stan was one of my idols. We could talk science, we could talk Workmen's Circle, we could talk making this a shenere un besere velt far ale (a better and more beautiful world for all).

"RIP Stan the Man !
Please, please will everyone in the world stop saying that Stan invented the NiMH battery for hybrid cars ! He invented the NiMH battery for pure EVs which if the development had continued would be giving over 300 miles of pure electric drive today and still can. He offered GM a 201mile range battery for EV1 in the year 1994 !!"

But I’m very proud to know that in some small way I was part of his family.
"My sincerest condolences to the entire Ovshinsky family."

"I woked for Stan from 1969 thru 1974.  Even though it’s a short five years; but he has redirected my “political compass” for all my life. I remember in one of the May Day parties in his house, he remarked “We socialists should enjoy life just like the capitalists."  The world will miss a true man of renaissance and compassion."

"On behalf of the American Physical Society, please accept our condolences. Although I did not know Stan personally, I have heard of his wonderful relationship with the Society as a fellow, author in our journals and generous contributor to APS philantropic endeavors.

Of course, I had heard stories about him from my dad when I was growing up ... and I learned more about Stan's amazing work in creating a better world, environmentally and functionally, thru his use of technology. A true visionary!!"

In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about.>"

"Stan was a generous and warm person, a true visionary. I was fortunate to work for ECD as a consultant. I will always remember Stan with warmth and gratitude."

"First and foremost stan was a kind,loving,human being,he defined humanity.  Beyond that he defined science(amorphous state of matter) who until his vision denied this reality even from til then the greatest mines of our time could not capture.  Any time with Stan was very special for everyone. I will never forget a 3 hr lunch he invited me to join him and Dr.Edward Teller. The AHAH moment."

"Stan was in a class by himself; a great inventor, motivator, leader and above all a true friend for he NEVER acknowledged anyone anything but a friend...
30 years ago this day on October 18, 1982 he gave birth to Ovonic Battery Company and trusted be with reins of the newly formed company; he was a mentor a guiding light and an amazing human being...I will miss him sorely..."

"The world has lost a true leader in the scientific community and a genuine, caring soul.  His death is a pivotal point in defining the end of an era of self-made men.  Stan was also a very generous man, speaking to my students several times since the 1980's and as keynote at Lawrence Tech's SOS2010 Sustainability Conference. My students loved him.  He was my hero. We will all miss him."

That writing left a permanent impression on me.  For anyone who thinks that all engineers are cold and uncaring, Stan proved daily that such an idea is not true.
