He graduated from Loyola High School and Washington State University. Stan enlisted in the Air Force, serving from 1954 to 1957 as a fighter pilot, flying the F-86 Sabre. He was stationed in Nagoya, Japan where he married Dixie Oder in 1955. Dixie and Stan built a home in Portuguese Bend, now Rancho Palos Verdes, CA, in 1960. During their 20 years of marriage they raised their five children – Laura Hanley (Dean), Erin LaMonte (Gary), Raymond Green (Judy), Joe Green (Stacey), and Ellen Crnkovich (Martin).

Stan worked in the glass business all his life, as the owner of Coast Glass Company in Hermosa Beach in the 1960’s and 70’s and then later in the speciality glass fabrication business. He excelled using his engineering and mechanical mind (never having taken an engineering course in college) to develop solutions to challenging production problems.
