Stanley was a retired concrete laborer who worked out of Local 231 in Pekin. He worked for such companies as C.A. Powley and C and G Concrete Construction.

In his younger days, Stanley was active in many Morton and Peoria bowling and softball leagues. He always loved motorcycles and all type of racing and hot rods. In his more recent years, Stanley enjoyed golfing with friends and spending time with his family and grandchildren. He never met a stranger and always ran into someone he knew no matter where he was, and his laughter was as genuine as his soul.
