Our family has so many fond memories of Father Stanley from his time at St. Victor’s Chapel in Lakehills. He was a good at sharing his life stories. He told us stories about when he was a kid in Poland playing European football, his two day stint in paratrooper school (they drop you off a high tower with a parachute on, and if your legs don’t break then you passed the test!), and why everyone should love opera. He had so much fun with our youth on our yearly trips to Schlitterbahn. The first time he brought that up the kids told me that I had to tell Father Stanley how to pronounce Schlitterbahn right. He said to me, “My lady, my people gave you that word!” When I told him what the kids were hearing him say, he changed the way he pronounced it! I will remember most his laughter and his smiling eyes. He loved his family very much, and nothing made him happier than getting to spend time with them. We will miss Father Stanley very much.
