Stan proudly served his country in the United States Army. He was a firefighter for St. Cloud Township for 20 years; and most recently worked as a Dispatcher for Hardrives. Stan was a musician with Stan's Concertina Band along with other musical groups for 23 years. He loved golf, sinking seven holes-in-one during his career. He also enjoyed wood-working, playing cards- especially poker, shaking the dice and cribbage. Stan was an easygoing man with a wonderful sense of humor as well as a gentle, loving husband, father and grandfather. He was a teacher at heart and enjoyed teaching his children new things in a hands-on manner. Stan will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Stan is survived by his loving wife, Sandra; children, Russell (Deb) Korneck of Avon, Tammy (Mike) Weiman of St. Joseph, Kevin (Kimberly) Korneck of Avon; siblings, Norma Streit of St. Anna, Gladys Morgel of St. Paul; seven grandchildren; and he greatly anticipated the birth of his first great-grandchild, Lila.
