It is with heavy hearts that our

cherished grandchildren, Laura,

Mary; siblings, Joseph, Michael, Anne,

Stanley was born in Myrnam, Alberta and
lived with his family on the homestead farm
until he moved to Edmonton to attend the
University of Alberta where he completed a
BSc (1953) and Doctor of Dental Surgery
(1955). He established Kucey Dental Group
and later practiced with Brian and Elena until
his retirement in 2001. He was a Clinical
Professor of operative dentistry for 38 years
at the University of Alberta Faculty of
Dentistry. Always an active supporter of his
community, Stanley was a member of the
South Edmonton Lions Club where he
established lifelong friends. Stanley had a
very devout faith and was active with St.
Basils Ukrainian Catholic Church including
serving as a lector, Bishop Budka Fourth
