He was born in Brownsville, Pennsylvania and raised in McKeesport and lived in Squirrel Hill for over 60 years. Stanley had many passions in his long life, family was always first. Then came inventions - His grandson, Willem, called him "Captain Inventivity" when he was about 10 yrs old and talked about his Sure Tear Computer Paper Edge remover, his paper towel dispenser and his favorite invention, the hydraulic lift that he, his brother, Joshua and his cousin, Isaiah, could use to lift up the 50-60lb RV tire with ease. Stanley could always come up with a better way to do something, and could fix almost anything! After that came music, he played in the Pitt band for 4 years and he played his clarinet at his 90th birthday party. He enjoyed the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, and Chamber Music. Other passions included Skiing, golf and camping (from tents to RVS), auctions (from junk to fine arts) and having a martini with olives on the side, with friends. He graduated from The University of Pittsburgh, served in the Air Force during the Korean conflict and retired as a Captain. He was a 32nd degree Mason, and played in the Syria Shrine Band and other musical groups, including being a founding member of the JCC Orchestra, where he played for many years. He enjoyed his long and productive career with Westinghouse Electric where he had several patents related to nuclear reactors.
