Stanley W. Chmielewski, 84, of Manchester, NJ, passed away peacefully, holding his wife’s hand, on Friday December 2, 2022. Born in Newark, he lived in Nutley and Fairfield before moving to the Renaissance in Manchester in 2001.

He took great pride in spending time with his grandchildren, vacationing with them in many destinations throughout the years, creating lasting memories. He loved playing golf, cards and Mexican Train Dominoes with his friends. He also enjoyed playing bocce, shuffleboard, bus trips and many club activities at Renaissance.
