He was blessed to be cared for with unwavering devotion by his beloved wife of 68 years, Pearl. For the past seven years, Stanley bravely faced Progressive Supranuclear Palsey and CML with the same quiet strength and resilience that defined his life.
Born in Peckville, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Anthony and Helen Hudak. He was a proud graduate of Olyphant High School before serving honorably in the U.S. Army.
