On Monday, November 15, 2021 Stanley Alexander Galecki, husband and father of two children, passed away at age 75. Stan was born on February 10, 1946 in Hamtramck, Ml and grew up in Detroit to Stanley, and Anna (Nadarczynski) Galecki. He received his BA from the Wayne State University in Detroit in 1968, and started a career in the automotive industry like many in his family. He retired from General Motors after a 32 year career. Preceding and following retirement from GMC, Stan worked at the Palace of Auburn Hills/Pine Knob/Meadowbrook Theater for 25 years where he made many friends, enjoyed sporting events and concerts there and occasionally meeting celebrities and Detroit Pistons basketball players. He was known to have a sharp eye for unoccupied and closer seats at events for friends and family at concerts and events. Immediately following retirement from the auto industry, Stan worked at Parisian Department Store part-time in the cash office for nine years.
Stan was preceded in death by his parents and the nine aunts and uncles that immigrated from Poland to Pennsylvania (and most on to Michigan,) that were born to Frank Galecki (a coal miner) and his wife, Helen Michalowski (housewife.) He is survived by his wife, Barbara, children Ann Marie (Wil Côté) and Jeffrey and grandchildren (Charlotte and Wil). Stan was enormously proud of all his children and grandchildren-
A celebration of his life will be arranged at a future date. Donations are welcomed, in Stan's name, to the Lighthouse Mission of Michigan, a cause that Stan supported for many years. (www.lighthousemi.org, 46156 Woodward Avenue Pontiac, MI 48342).
