Stanley Kaminsky

Stanley Jay Kaminsky, 69, passed away on November 2 at his Albany home. He was the devoted son of the late Reba and Morris Kaminsky.

Born in Albany, N.Y., he graduated from Albany High School as valedictorian, Union College and the University of Michigan where he received his Doctorate in Philosophy. Stanley enjoyed teaching at Union College and later went on to work in the technology sector at Fleet Bank and other firms as an analyst and programmer.

Stanley was a member of Temple Israel and later a regular and dedicated volunteer at services at the Daughters of Sarah Community, spending afternoons there visiting with residents. Stanley loved science fiction and took pleasure in reading and gardening. He will be remembered for his sense of humor, imagination and generous gift giving nature.
