Benjamin Stango Jr.

Benjamin Stango, Jr., affectionately known as Benny or Benjo to his friends and family, took his final bow on February 25, 2025, leaving behind a legacy that will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him. Born on October 16, 1947, in Philadelphia, PA, he was a graduate of West Catholic High School and an Air Force Veteran. Benjamin was a funny, loving, and humble man who spent his professional career working for the City of Philadelphia before retiring to Prospect Park, Pennsylvania. He was an ardent supporter of his grandkids in their sporting endeavors, often seen cheering from the sidelines, his laughter and encouragement echoing across the field.
Benjamin's greatest joy came from his family. He is survived by his daughter, Melissa (Michael) Staublein, and son, Nicholas Stango. His siblings, David (Kathy) Stango and Madeline (Jeannie) Robbins also mourn his loss. Benjamin was a devoted grandfather to Samantha, Jackson, Michael, Noah, Giovanni, and Mila. He is preceded in death by his parents, Benjamin Sr and Mary Stango, his son Michael (Ashley) Stango, and his brothers Francis and Ralph Stango.
