Lifelong Connecticut resident Stanley A. Rostkowski, 87, passed peacefully on September 7, 2019.
Born in Stamford on September 12, 1931, Stanley was the son of the late John and Genevieve Rostkowski. He was predeceased by his sisters Helen and Regina. Stan was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, had a strong Catholic faith and pride for his Polish heritage. A three-sport athlete in his school years, Stan loved all sports and was an avid golfer. He stayed active through his later years, whether in his prized garden or playing ball with his children and grandchildren. Stan also loved all types of music, marching bands and drum corps competitions.
He was married on September 3, 1955 to his loving wife of 64 years, Dorothy (Licek), is also survived by brother Ted Rostkoski, and children Carolyn Rostkowski (Patrick), Stephen and wife Audrey, Cindy and husband Michael Hess, and Larry and wife Diane. He was the dear grandfather of Cara, Amy, Emily, Diana, Ryan, Lauren and Carolyn who were the light of his life.
Stanley served his country in the U.S. Army, was stationed in Alaska for four years and honorably discharged as a Corporal. He was a proud graduate of Manhattan College, attended on the G.I. Bill.
Above all, Stan was a people person, quick with a joke or wise crack – and loved to make people laugh. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.
The family would like to thank the staff and residents of The Village at Mariner’s Point for their care and fellowship in Stan’s last years, and Robin Snell for her loving care.
