Throughout his life, Stanley demonstrated exceptional dedication and courage during his military service as a Corporal in the Army. His commitment to serving his country was admirable and exemplified his strong sense of duty.
He worked more than 34 years in the family business; selling, distributing, and servicing all kinds of batteries both wholesale and retail.
