Stan was an amazing man that positively influenced a lot of Science, and People as well. I thank him for the honor and pleasure of knowing him, and the opportunity to be a part of the ECD Family.
   My sympathy to his Family, they and Stan are in my thoughts and Prayers.

I've known of Stan since high school. I distributed a newspaper in high school published by son Harvey--"The Fifth Estate". Years after I was an invited guest speaker presenting on Comet Halley at the Institute for Amorphous Studies (est. by Stan) . A great person whose contributions in so many areas are immeasurable.......He will be sorely missed.

I know that our family was proud that my father Sam worked with Stan for many years, first in Ohio and then in Michigan. We send our condolences to his family. The world is a poorer place for his loss.

The World, and personally myself, are better because of Stan. I believe, Stan worked toward creating a world of boundless energy, without borders and of one Human race. Within ECD we had this - imagine the world living as we luckily did at ECD. Stan will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

Well that’s it, TDG was advanced, let’s forget about the rest. You live on in space-time so, see you tomorrow or yesterday as you like. By the way, change my chance battery I think it’s a bit flat, especially on R-3 SSTM, it would be a great adventure. Sorry for the change up on health, I even got twins, imagine. Friendly yours.

Stan had the remarkable ability to convey a Vision for his technology that made every person in the room walk in its new world as if it had already happened. Every home and factory powered by solar with efficient battery storage, distributed electrical power in every village, no more wars fighting for oil, reducing the impact of poverty, He and his dreams will be missed.

Stan has been a dear friend of my father, Umberto Colombo, who has joined him in ECD for many years. We had the chance of meeting a few times here in Italy and in the US and have remained in touch when my father has passed away in 2006. I could appreciate how a great person he was. Many condolences to Rosa and to the whole family also on behalf of my mother Milena

I've followed Stanford R. Ovshinsky because of his brilliance and concern for the future the of the planet. He loved cars and wanted to bring them more into harmony with the world.  The electric car was a dream for him and a reality that is eminent.  His contribution to this world will be felt by future generations that will breathe cleaner air.  I will remember him always for this.

I have known Stan for over 30 years working him on various challemging scietific projects. His scientific intuition and his tireless drive to solving problems have been inspiration to me. His caring, supportive and warm personality will be missed by me and my wife. Our thoughts are with his family at this time of sorrow.

Stan came to Lake Orion Middle School on career day in the 80's when I was just a student, and I remember him showing us some amazing things that he was working on. He helped inspire my life-long love of science and our natural world. He has changed us all and been a most positive influence in the world. Thank you for all that you gave us, Stan.

It is a dark day for the planet !!! No words can do him justice. My thoughts go out to his family. Peace be with you my friend !

The Department of Medicine at Lenox Hill Hospital wishes to express its condolences to the family of Stan Ovshinsky.

I never met Mr. Ovshinsky but have the pleasure of working with his grandson. He sounds like the type of person this country and world need more of. What an interesting person.

So many memories of Stan, Harvey, Ben and all. Stan used to take us to his shop on Saturdays, we'd play with the tools, ride the little tractor and then go to the deli. He was always so fun to be around, he treated us like people not children.
What a life, what accomplishments. I truly am sorry for the families loss.

My deepest condolences to the family and to everyone that is a part of Stan's wonderful life. Stan's mentorship, spirit, and his example for life will always be remenbered. His life changed mine forever. 
God bless you and peace be with your spirit.

Stan is the rarest of men - a brilliant inventor, an extraordinary leader and a genuine humanitarian. Very few people in all of human history have made the contributions to technology and to helping humanity find the right path forward. Stan Ovshinsky will be greatly missed but will remain with us in spirit forever. David Stevenson

How many like me? How many lives forever touched? Young minds shaped and mentored? Values sharpened? Clarity and direction. Encouragement and admonishment. Inspiration and Example. When a philosopher learns that it is science, technology, and knowledge that changes the world, the lesson sticks. Through Stan I got connected to generations ... past and future. Thanks Stan.

My condolences to Stan's family and friends. The world has lost a brilliant and accomplished man. And, a kind and caring man. I thoroughly enjoyed my years at ECD with Stan at the helm. May he rest in peace.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Stan's passing. He had such a strong personality and so much energy you felt that he would live forever, but he leaves a legacy that will long outlive him. I feel privileged to have known Stan and to have worked for him. My thoughts go out to Rosa and all of Stan's family.

Had the privilage of Stans mentoring in my early years to the pleasure
of working with and consulting for ECD throughout my adult career.
Loved my time at the McMath-Hulbert Observatory where I had my studio/thinktank/laboratory.Bless him!

Stan makes us smile both outside and inside. That's the way it is.

I feel very fortunate to have worked with Stan. Stan and his family will be in my prayers.

He was a wonderful person to talk with. I was at ECD for 28 years. It was never like going to work. It was like going to college forever. The people there were always teaching and learning new things and trying to make the world a better place. He had a very positive impact on my life. God Bless you Stan and thanks for the road we traveled.

A life well lived with passion, honor, determination, creation, and immense courage.
Stan enriched all of us by his kindness and example in fully living his authentic life.

I was saddened to hear about Stan's passing.I feel Privileged to have known Stan and his late wife Iris during the time of hair cuts at their house,i was treated like a family ,may god rest you in peace.
for ever love you both

Dearest Ovshinsky family,
We are so sorry to hear of Stan's passing. Growing up, hearing stories about Stan from both our uncle Dombey and our own mother and father, we got a sense of what a truly remarkable man Stan was. Reading all these tributes today we see it even more.
Our deepest condolences. Our thoughts are with you all.
Love, Tegan and Beverley Webster

Whenever i have to make difficult or important decistions, I follow Stan's advice " Do the right thing". It is a great and simple guide, but quite often it requires great deal of thinking and efforts.

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.

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...

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 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.

The world is a better place for having a person like Stan in it. He worked hard to make it better for all of us. He will be missed by many.

He was like a father to me. He taught me all I know. I will miss him an awful lot. May he rest in peace.

I have known Mr. Ovshinsky for the past 32 years. He has been a great mentor for me always encouraging any scientific idea and trying to get the best out of people who worked with him. Will miss him greatly.May his soul rest in peace. Venkatesan

I met Stan in 1971 when I first joined ECD. Being able to be a part of the ECD family was a unique experience spearheaded by Stan's and Iris's drive committement, and principles. I worked with Stan on three different occasions and He taught me a lot. He provided not just an environment for technological development but also one for human development. May he rest in peace.

Thank you Mr. Ovshinsky for your service to all of us!

It was an honor to have known and worked for Mr. Ovshinsky he was a great person. He will be greatly missed.

Mary Martin Burns.

I never got to tell you this, but "Thank you Stan", for the best 25 years of my life-the time I spent at ECD. May the Good Lord give you peace.

"Very few people have the chance to be associated with a great man like Stan in life. I am one of the lucky ones. His passion for science and society inspires me for the rest of my life and he will always live within my heart"

Stan wrote an op ed piece for the Fifth Estate around 1966. 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. His ability to think across all disciplines to create for the betterment of humankind earns him a place in history with the greats. His ideas will endure.

Yes he was like a father to me also. I was with ECD for almost my entire working life, until just this very year. I owe that all to Stan and his commitment to better this world. I learned most of my engineering skills while being a part of ECD and Stan's dreams. he will be missed greatly and it's my prayer that the Lord will grant him peace.

My condolences to all the family, friends and co-workers of Stan. He was literally a one in a billion creator, innovator and entrepreneur. More importantly he was a wonderful human being. I will miss him. May his soul rest in peace.

Stan’s Ovonic Battery company introduced me to the Battery world and groomed me with immense knowledge which I applied to all my future endeavors. Without Stan’s vision I would not be the same person as I am today. May his soul rest in peace.

Many condolences to the family, freinds and co-workers. It was with great pleasure that I had the opportunity to work for ECD...Stan...we can only hope for more innovators such as yourself.

Stan was a remarkable, innovative and amazing human being. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to know him. His Passion for our world will live on and it is a better place because of him. God bless his family at this time. You will be missed dearly Stan.

Stan was a great man, the world will shine a little brighter because of him, Stan was like a father to all of his people, if Stan only had two dollars in his pocket he would spend one of them to advance the world towards green energy and peace, god bless you Stan.

Stan was a great leader, teacher and inspiration to all of us fortunate enough to of worked with him. He will be greatly missed.

I met Stan only once, but he left an indelible impression of someone who was operating on a very high level, with passion, intelligence, freedom of thought, leadership, dedication, and enlightenment. He felt like a grandfather and reminded me of Thomas Edison.
