Stanley F. Obal, III age 61, of Wayne, passed suddenly on Monday, February 16, 2015.
He was born at St. Josephs Hospital in Paterson, N.J and was raised in Oakland, NJ. He graduated from Saint Joseph Regional High School in Montvale with the Class of 1971. He then went on to study at Ramapo College in Mahwah. He was a dedicated member of the Boy Scouts of America having belong to troop 369 and troop 49 in Oakland. He was one of the first scouts in his troop to fulfill the requirements to attain his Eagle Scout rank. Stanley’s dedication in scouting was evidenced in his working life as well. He was a hard working and loyal Assistant Manager of Inserra ShopRite Supermarkets for over thirty years. He was also a very giving person and continued to give even after he passed by donating his eyes.
He was the loving husband to Cathy (DeStefano) Obal; devoted father of Allison and Caitlyn Obal of Wayne; cherished grandfather of Hailie Englehardt whom brought a smile to his face no matter how he was feeling. He was the dear brother of Joanne Moloughney and her husband Joe of Pompton Plains, and Janet Zuendt and her husband Jeff of Mahwah. He was the son of the late Dr. Stanley F. Obal, Jr., DDS and the late Helen Obal. He was also the uncle to several nieces and nephews.
Stanley met Cathy DeStefano and began dating in November of 1987, were engaged in February of 1988. They were married on April 8, 1988 at Saint Josephs RC Church in Lodi, had their reception at George’s in Moonachie, and took a beautiful cruise for their honeymoon. They’ve had a loving and devoted marriage for twenty-seven years.
During the nice weather he was always outside. He truly enjoyed working in the yard, whether it was growing tomatoes, trimming the shrubs, cutting the lawn or relaxing in the pool. He took pride in his lawn and enjoyed making different patterns in the grass each time he mowed.
Stan looked forward to traveling. He enjoyed going to Disney World in Florida, and cruising to different islands. He also enjoyed going to the beach and swimming in the ocean. He had fond memories having spent much time in Wildwood and Island State Park at the jersey shore with his family. Stan loved watching sports on TV. He was a huge San Francisco 49ers fan and was very intense during Wii bowling tournaments with his father-in-law. He was an animal lover and had many pets over the years. He currently had a loving bond with his two cats Snickers and Skittles. Over the years he became very proficient with computers and was the go to guy for many people when they needed help with them. Stan also loved to celebrate the holidays, especially Christmas. He took pride in decorating the tree and outside of the house with lights and ornaments, in addition to cooking delicious holiday meals.
In lieu of flowers memorial donations can be made to the John Theurer Cancer Center, in memory of Stanley F. Obal, III, c/o Hackensack University Medical Center 360 Essex Street, Suite 301, Hackensack, NJ 07601.
