	CSULB friends, faculty remember employee By Tom Harshbarger Daily Forty-Niner Friends of the late Stanley Maerowitz, a computer repair specialist for the College of Liberal Arts, held a memorial service Thursday at the Academic Senate.  Maerowitz died Sept. 5 at age 56.  More than 60 people turned out for the service, laughing and sometimes sighing as friends and colleagues shared their memories.  A table containing photos, a tin filled with jellybeans and a Macintosh computer sat at the entrance.  Next to the table was a desk chair with an old computer on it, a symbol, friends said, of Maerowitzís personality.  "He used to stack his work on the chairs," said David Griffin, who worked with Maerowitz at technical services for more than three years. "We'd tell him, 'Stan, we've got nowhere to sit.'" Among those in attendance were professors, colleagues and Maerowitzís wife and two grown children. Maerowitz, who had suffered a heart attack seven years ago, had worked at the Cal State Long Beach since 1986.  People who knew and loved Maerowitz took their turns speaking to the crowd, sharing their memories.  They described him as a man with an appetite for good food and an appetite for life. "He was not shy, nor retiring," said Bill Grissom, technical support services manager for the college and long-time friend. "When he came to help someone, you got more than just computer help. He just loved to talk to people." "After working together for such a long time, we became like a family." Grissom said.
