Stanley was born and raised on the tough streets of Chicago, Illinois. In 1949, he met Dorothy Eve Maysak, who, he later admitted, "taught me how to kiss on the day we met." They were married on July 14, 1951. He was a hard worker, a provider, and loved good food. Their family grew to include their daughter, Linda Marie. Having a family was good for Stanley, and it brought out his joyful side. He enjoyed family gatherings, especially card parties, where he would display his culinary skills by serving his homemade Italian sausage and other dishes. He was fun loving and shared his humor with everyone in hopes of bringing a smile to their face. For years after moving to Georgia in 1998, Friday nights were "Pizza Nights" in the Solarczyk household, when Stanley would experiment tirelessly, trying to replicate the thin crust sausage pizza from Chestdan’s Pizzaria in Chicago. He came close several times, but his wife and daughter always told him "better luck next time," thus assuring that they'd be served another delicious pizza the following Friday - Stanley didn't mind.
He liked being busy, whether at work or at home. He worked at Phoenix Closures for 40+ years, enjoyed home improvement projects, and helped neighbors with their own home repairs. A fan of all the Chicago sports teams, he truly relished the Chicago Bears' Super Bowl win in 1986 and, even more so, the Chicago Cubs' World Series triumph in 2016. A real "people person," he left a positive impression on everyone he met, whether when walking his dogs or during his regular jaunts to Publix, Walmart, or Home Depot.
In order to honor his wishes, no formal services will be held. Stanley is preceded by his wife of 60 years, Dorothy Eve Maysak Solarczyk; parents, Stanley Solarczyk and Bernice Prus Solarczyk; and sisters, Helen Solarczyk Rapisardi and Albie Solarczyk Razzino. His memory will be cherished by his daughter, Linda Solarczyk of Marietta, Georgia; dogs, Missy and Jamie; and cousins and nephews.
