He was a great table tennis player. In the senior games back in April he won the gold medal in singles (90 to 94) and with partner Lee Danielson he won the gold medal in doubles (80-84). He was also a terrific golfer. One marker of exceptional play is shooting a score lower than your age. Since April Stan failed to do that only once while averaging under 80.
Stan Czenis, good table tennis player, good golfer, good person. He will be missed. Please share your stories about Stan, just hit comments. |
