Stanley Zimmer Obituary
October 22, 1922 - January 10, 2018
Stanley was born in Montrose, S. Dakota, one of 13 children born to George and Alma Zimmer. He graduated with an electrical engineering degree from S. Dakota State University after serving in the Air Force in WWII. Stan married his wife, Jean, of Pittsfield, MA, in 1950. They moved to Seattle, then lived in Bellevue 60 years. Stan had a long career as a sales engineer for General Electric.
Stan was a founding member of St. Louise Parish in 1960 and a lifelong parishioner. He was also an avid golfer and sportsman and a charter member of Phantom Lake Bath and Tennis Club and Sahalee Country Club. He enjoyed fishing, boating, and skiing as well. His favorite baseball team was the Chicago Cubs, and he loved watching TV sports, especially golf, baseball and football. Stan was also a generous donor to S. Dakota State University.
Stan is survived by six children--Barb (Michael), Bruce (Chris), Pam (Ray), Jim, Joanne and Stan, eight grandchildren, three great grandsons, two brothers--Gene (Marlys) and Tom (Lynne), and three sisters--Margaret, Rita (Jack) and Lois (Harold). (Stan's wife Jean died in 1991.)
A funeral mass at 11:00 am Saturday, January 27, will be at St. Louise Catholic Church in Bellevue. Repast to follow at the church.

Though it has been awhile since I have seen Uncle Stan. I can say he was always as big as life when he came to visit in Pittsfield. My mother would say you have to come now or at such and such a time or you will miss him. Always on the go doing something when he was around. Anyway God Bless all of you for having a great Dad to remember and who will fill your hearts with memories. Cousin Jim

I was so sad to hear about Uncle Stan's passing and sending a big hug to all my Zimmer cousins. Stan was a great guy and will be missed by all of us. He had such a great sense of humor and was always entertaining to be around. When I saw him a couple of years ago in Phoenix it was after a couple of days of playing golf with Bill and Doc. He said he was slowing down a bit and had only played 9 holes each day. I remember thinking that I'm that active in my 90s.
I will be thinking of all of you this weekend and sending lots of loving thoughts your way. Love, Kathy (Keating) Hewitt

I am really going to miss a great dad and friend. Will miss all our trips to the ocean and beaches; especially our times at Rockaway Beach Resort in Oregon. Loved spending time there with you and all the adventures we had. Always a good time.
Glad you were able to travel the world and live a full life. Stayed independent until the end. You were one of the most active 95 year olds I have had the privilege of knowing and loving. Will always miss the time we spent together.Your loving daughter, Joanne Zimmer Pierce
