The following was posted on Facebook by one of Stan's children today January 31, 2023:
Dear friends and family
It is with deep sadness that we inform you of the peaceful passing of our dad Stanley Rosenberg.
He was positive to the very end and was lovingly surrounded by his children when he went on his way to the great unknown.
Stanley was a man who touched the lives of many friends, students, colleagues, and like-minded freethinkers.
He lived boldly, optimistically, and positively, never letting life get the better of him. He was a man we can be proud of.
The memorial will take place at Holmens Kapel (Holmen’s Chapel)
Upsalagade 25, 2100 København
Monday the 6th of February at 1pm.
It's a small chapel, but everyone is welcome.
If you want to send flowers that would be appreciated, but to his beliefs, flowers are for the living, so rather keep the bouquet at home and reminisce about the good moments you had with Stanley.

I think Stanley's daughter captured everything about him in her post
I new Stanley from 7th grade on and kept in touch with him up until about 15 years ago, after I met with him after his mother died
He was a wonderful friend , and always a delight to be with.
I still think about him ,and will miss n
him

Remember Stan's smile. Always youthful. My roommate at college during first year. Last time I saw Stan was at college reunion. Talked about mind- body interactions . SadJay Kerzner

I'd always had the greatest admiration and respect for Stan. Even though, because of his superior intelligence (ah! the awesome benefits of a really high IQ!), he was, I believe, in all advanced courses at Central, he was nonetheless kind, warm and friendly, and showed interest in everyone in our class. (And that wasn't necessarily true for everyone else in advanced placement, some of whom, frankly, seemed rather cliquish.)
But, more important than anything else, Stan wasn't just a gifted student. Considerably beyond the ways he distinguished himself in high school, his ultimate career was vastly more important than that.
From reading his bio on this site, post high school he struggled to find himself. Ironically, because he could do so many things competently, he went through several incarnations before what finally felt just right to him (cf Goldilocks!) was to engage himself fully in body work. Moving to Denmark for "advanced" study in this realm, he ended up creating his own form of physical therapy. And his many books were published and translated into an astounding number of languages.
His seminal book, Assessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve [the key to how our nervous system operates], has been enormously influential. And it's cited frequently not simply in articles and books on physical therapy (or mind/body therapy). It's also favorably referred to by many psychologists (including myself).
Additionally, Stan came up with something called The Basic Exercise, which by now is world famous. In just a few seconds, it's typically able to significantly reduce a person's anxiety and stress generally. Just look it up on YouTube where it's demonstrated by quite a few body practitioners. My own clients have found it almost magical in enabling them to get beyond their defensive reactivity and counter-productive rumination.
So, to conclude, not only was Stan the President of our class and maybe the most beloved of our students, his star also shined the brightest during his incredibly productive adult years.
So I was profoundly saddened to learn of his death. And I'm sure many others in our class have had the same reaction. Yet at the same time there's SO much we can all be affirmative about when we think about Stan's life--and what he so generously left behind for humanity.

I first met Stan at Wagner Jr. Hgh school in 7th grade. And although we drifted apart through the years, we kept in touch through occasional cards and personal messages. As a Physical Therapist I was always aware of his contributions to mind/ body treatment. He was an outstanding clinician, but an even better person. His smile will be missed.

I saw Stan in the Fall of 1963 in Hawaii, where I was doing Peace Corps training. Stan took my wife and me to a beautiful bar perched on a rock overlooking the ocean, where he introduced us to mai tais. We stayed in touch sporadically over the years. Stan lived his life with exuberant energy. I remember the smile that lit up a room. It is great to hear, though not surprising, that Stan made a significant contribution to the healing arts. His memory is a gift.Michael D. Muldawer
I too first knew Stan from Wagner Jr. High in 7th grade. Everybody in the 210 knew and liked him. He was in every sense of the term a real mensch. As so often happens after graduation we went our own ways. My move to New Mexico after medical training largely cut me off from the old gang, but I fondly remember Stan and am pleased to hear from all of you about his considerable accomplishments.
