He immigrated to Turin, Alberta in 1950 and later relocated to Calgary in 1952. He spoke five languages and worked primarily in the hotel industry for thirty-four years where he made many good friends. During that time he also started his own business in the real estate sector buying, managing and beautifully maintaining residential properties of which he was extremely proud. He and his wife of forty-nine years, Sophie, were at each other's side working as a team throughout all these years. Retirement was not in his vocabulary and he lived his life in full measure. Stanley had a passion for athletics and the great outdoors. For sixteen years he played soccer both in Germany and with the White Eagles Soccer Team of Calgary. As a young father he always enjoyed packing the family vehicle every summer and driving on long extended camping trips to the West Coast and the North Western United States. In more recent years he and Sophie would look forward to camping in the BC interior as well as holiday trips to Hawaii and Australia. He loved to explore and was always planning the next trip. Most of all he was a devoted husband and father and loved his family. Besides his loving wife, Stanley is survived by two daughters, Brenda (David) and Regina (Barry); and two grandchildren, Chad and Mitch; two sisters, Mary and Donna; and his uncle Rev.
