Born in Chesterfield, NJ, Stanley resided in the Chesterfield and Columbus areas for the majority of his life before moving to assisted living in Berlin in 2022. He was a 1949 graduate of William MacFarland High School in Bordentown, where he was an active participant in Future Farmers of America (FFA). Upon graduation, he continued working and operating the family dairy farm, Fairview Farm in Chesterfield. In 1951 he married his high school sweetheart Jeanette Roberts and they continued to reside on the family farm. After many years of farming, he moved on to work for General Electric and later became a turf and outdoor equipment salesman in which he received salesman of the year honors.
