He leaves behind his wife Maria Sledz, his sister Marysia, his sons Franek (Krystyna), Boguslaw (Ela) of Poland, late son Edward (Helena), Wieslaw (Alicja), and Stanislaw (Deanne) of Winnipeg, Canada, along with many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, family and friends. Stanislaw was born in Rakoniewice, Poland. During the Second World War as a young boy he and his family were condemned to years of forced labour in a camp in Czechoslovakia. The end of the war allowed for his families return to Poland. Stanislaw and Maria as husband and wife were blessed with five boys, through hard work in post war Poland they established strong roots and strived to provide the best for their family as well as instilled strong values and Catholic upbringing. Stanislaw and Maria traveled to Winnipeg, Canada in 1975, where they worked and met many of their friends. Once here, they learned what freedom was and were impressed by the countries endless opportunities. During the voyage back home the decision was made to return as permanent residents. The 1976 winter holiday to France was a stepping-stone towards realizing his dream. The family arrived to Canada in 1977 and with great pride they accepted their Canadian Citizenship in April 5, 1984.
