Stanley Lawrence

Stanley E. Lawrence passed away on Monday September 9, 2024 after a long life well lived.  He was born on May 19, 1935 to the late Robert and Margaret (Eynon) Lawrence.

He graduated from Meadville High School in 1953. Following a stint in the US Army, where he served two years in  Germany,, he began his long and productive career in the tool and die industry. He entered the apprentice program at Talon and went on to be an instructor for apprentices for 15 years before working at other shops. He retired as Manager of Sprint Tool and Die.

Stan enjoyed being in his woodworking shop building furniture etc. He liked gardening, hunting, fishing, golfing and especially bicycling which he continued to do into his eighties.  He was a “Mr. Fix-it” and was quick to lend a hand to anyone in need; fixing cars, plumbing or any emergency.

He was preceded in death by an infant son and his brother, William Knickerbocker.

As per his wishes, there will be no calling hours or services. A Celebration of his Life will be held at a later date.
