So sorry to hear about Stan’s passing. I graduated with him from DeSales High in 1961 and he was a star in every way. My prayers and condolences to his family.
Stan was a good man. I enjoyed playing on his baseball team for several years. I learned a lot about the game from him. My condolences to the family. Big Stan will be missed.
Dear Janicki Family It’s always a shock to open the paper and see that someone you were so close to has passed…As you all know Stan was a kind soul, a incredibly generous man and even better cook. Most missed will be his intellect and his irreverent and mischievous outlook on life. A life well lived.
l long live
