Stanley Kiernozek

Stanley Kiernozek, age 94, entered eternal life on November 18, 2025.

Stanley was a hard-working, fun, and loving soul whose determination and independent spirit shaped every chapter of his life. He always preferred to do things for himself—sometimes to a fault—and took great pride in maintaining his independence for as long as possible.

Born in Poland, Stanley carried his heritage close to his heart. He loved dancing the polka, a joyful reminder of his roots and the music that brought him happiness throughout the years.

He also had a wonderfully quirky sense of humor and a unique way of “fixing” things—often until the very last thread. Whether it was duct-taping his shoes back together or using elastic waistbands to secure gauze around his head, Stanley’s improvised solutions became legendary within the family and never failed to bring laughter.

He found joy in life’s simple pleasures. His favorite birthday tradition was a meal from Pizza Hut, where he eagerly enjoyed his supreme pizza. And his lighthearted love for drinking half-and-half always kept his family amused.

Stanley’s life was forever changed with the passing of his beloved wife of over 60 years in 2022. Those who loved him take comfort in knowing they are now reunited in heaven.

Stanley is survived by his son, Gregory Kiernozek; his daughters-in-law, Lynn and Danusia Kiernozek; and his cherished grandchildren—Michelle, Nina, Stephanie, John, Drew, and Jennifer. His granddaughters affectionately called him “Tiny,” a nickname that reflected the sweetness of their bond and the gentle humor that surrounded him.

He will be fondly remembered for his warmth, humor, resilience, and unmistakable spirit. His memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved him.
