Stanley W Pinski

Stanley W. Pinski February 16, 1948 - September 1, 2010 With much sorrow we announce the passing of Stan on Wednesday September 1, 2010 at St. Anthony's Hospital. Beloved husband and best friend of Zonamae (nee West) for 41 years; Dear son of the late William and Dorothy Quick; Loving father and friend of Rene and her husband, Sean Dulle; Devoted grandfather of Joel Dulle; Dear brother of Jerry (Debbie) Quick; Dear step-brother of Greg (Betty) Wapelhorst and Judy (Jack) Neiman; Dear brother-in-law of Guy West and Betsy West. Stan was born and raised in the St. Louis area, and worked as a mechanic and master technician at Lou Fusz Toyota for 35 years; he also served a majority of that time as a trusted shop steward for IAM Local Lodge 777. After retiring in 2007, he visited often to see his friends, and of course, to help his grandson sell candy bars for cub scouts. Stan enjoyed life; everyone that knew Stan knew how much he loved Colorado, the great outdoors, a good dessert, soft toilet paper, and especially, a good laugh! His love for nature, fishing, deer hunting, and patience with anyone wanting to learn, inspired others to love the outdoors, too. Stan also cultivated beautiful gardens at home and took pride in his home grown vegetables. Stan will likely be remembered most by his willingness to help others without expecting anything in return. He never met a stranger, nor judged anyone by their appearance. His immediate family is grateful for the outpouring of love shown by the hundreds of family and friends that visited during his final weeks. Stan had great integrity, outstanding optimism, and a love for life, so at his request, there will be no visitation, only celebration. Friends and family are invited to a Memorial Service at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Fenton, MO (hwy 141) on Saturday, September 11, 2010 from 3:00-3:30 pm, followed by a BBQ and Celebration of Stan's life at the home of Rene and Sean Dulle, 755 View Drive (off Saline Road) in Fenton. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Scleroderma Foundation, 300 Rosewood Dr. Ste. 105, Danvers, MA 01923, online at www.scleroderma.org/development/donate.shtm or by phone 1-800-722-4673.
