Stan graduated from Skaneateles Central School. He married Esther O’Brien on November 10, 1945 and purchased a family home in Mottville. Stan worked at LAB Corporation for 35 years, retiring in 1992. After retirement, Stan and Esther bought a house in Florida for the winter months while spending summers in Skaneateles. They eventually sold their Florida home and bought a house in Elbridge to be closer to family and friends. For the past 6 years, Stan has been living with his wife in Skaneateles.
Stan was talented in many ways. He could wire a house and build furniture. Stan enjoyed golfing, fishing, hunting at the family camp in Bear Swamp, woodworking, gardening, painting, playing cards, and helping others. Above all, he treasured the relationships he had with family, friends, and dogs.
Stan is survived by his wife Esther, daughter Sharon (Allen) Decarr, daughter in-law Jeanette Brock, grandchildren Jeffrey (Cybil), Amy, Penny (Jamison), Janice, and Matthew (Stefanie), as well as 8 great grandchildren and friends he considered family. He was predeceased by his parents, and sons Tom and Ron.
