Stanley W. White age 89 of Wayne died Sunday, January 30, 2011 at the Chilton Memorial Hospital.
He was born in Wayne and lived in West Paterson, Little Falls and San Diego, CA having lived in Wayne for the past sixty years.
Stanley was a lathe operator and machinist for the Curtis Wright Corporation, Woodridge before enlisting in the US Navy. He was a United States Navy Veteran of WWII having served on the destroyer USS Wilkes. He not only regularly attended reunions of the Wilkes crew at many locations around the country, but he proudly hosted one here in the NJ/NY area. For most of his life kept in regular contact with a number of the crew members that he served with during the war.
After serving his country in the Navy he returned to the Curtis Wright Corporation where he worked before retiring in 1984.
He met Margaret Condon in grade school and married her in 1946. They have enjoyed sixty-five years of happy marriage.
Stanley was a dedicated member of the Wayne Police Athletic League(PAL). Donating of his time and talents he served as a Trustee for the Board of Directors, and baseball coach for over forty years. The team he coached was originally called “Dan’s Steakhouse”, later the “Wayne Cattleman” and finally “McDonalds”. He also served as Chairman of the American League with the Wayne PAL. Both Stanley and his wife Margaret were recipients of the Wayne PAL’s “Chief’s Award” for the dedicated service.
After his retirement he enjoyed travel including destinations such as: Hawaii, Ireland, England, Canadian Rockies, the Grand Canyon and many others. He found great satisfaction from growing fresh vegetables in the family vegetable garden, and peaches from "his" peach tree. Stanley was also a "do it yourself" man who seemed to be capable of fixing, repairing, or building just about anything. He loved swimming in the ocean or the family pool. He also enjoyed his 2 week "Jersey Shore" vacations to Long Beach Island, and the participation with his children in the purchase of a "family vacation home" in the LBI vicinity at which he was able to spend a good amount of his retirement doing what he liked best. Spending time with family and friends, golfing, fishing, eating fresh sea food (clams on the half shell and homemade Manhattan clam chowder being his favorite), tinkering and fixing up the house, are all things he will be fondly remembered for.
Stanley was the loving husband of Margaret (Condon) White; loving father of John White of Wayne, Stanley White and his wife Jerri of Butler, Robert White and his wife Sarah of Queens, NY, and Judy White of Wayne; cherished grandfather of Connor White; loved brother of Betty Strickland of Georgia and Timothy “Harry” White of Myrtle Beach, SC, and the late Mary Douglas. Owen, John, and Robert White.
