On November 7, 1970, in Racine, he married Mary Ann Kister. Stanley was a member of JMBA and S. C. Johnson Wax 20 year Club. Stanley played and coached Racine City Softball for many years. He also coached his children in T-ball and Pitch n Hit. He enjoyed playing dartball and bowling and was a member of the Racine Bowling Association. Stanley loved cheering on his Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Vikings, Dale Earnhardt in NASCAR, thoroughbred horse racing and showing his 1987 Monte Carlo in area car shows. His favorite time spent was Sunday Family Days and enjoyed spending time with his group of friends known as “The Terrible Ten”. He will be dearly missed.

The family wishes to extend a thank you to the Aurora Cancer Center Racine, the infusion nurses for their care and compassion, Aurora At Home Hospice, and a special “thank you” to Brianna, Lisa and Brianna, for making him comfortable at home.

Stanley was kind, helpful and brave, tough, and inspiring. He influenced so many around him. He lived a great life and we are thankful for that. He went through so much especially toward the end but never gave up the fight by staying strong and assured us it would be okay. We will remember all the great memories we shared and created over the years.
