Stanley J. Borowski

Hampton - Stanley J Borowski – “Grampy” Born in Plains, PA, to the late Anna Weis and John Borowski, the youngest of his siblings; John Borowski, Robert Borowski, Theresa Walkowiak, and Yuzia Brzozowski who predeceased him, left us to be with God on November 22, 2022. He was 82. In Plains, he was known as “Butch.” He could be found working at Blacky’s Garage to help support his mom after losing his dad when he was just 16 years old. This work marked the start of his mastery of craftsmanship, broadening his brilliant mind in every aspect of mechanics. In his leisure time, he would be found drag racing around town and dating his high school sweetheart, Sylvia. They were best friends and partners in crime, and they built a family on tradition, values, and morals, creating everlasting memories. Stan, aka “Stashu” began his professional career in manufacturing. He moved around the industry before landing as a machinist at Marcal Paper Products, where he rose to the position of Senior Director of Converting. Here, he put his brilliance into developing patents, improving efficiencies and processes to produce quality products. He was instrumental in manufacturing recycled paper by converting it into the final retail product. The Marcalus family encouraged his continued education, where he became certified as a Mechanical Engineering Specialist. He mentored others, and with great pride he shared his knowledge and expertise. Dad, aka “Grampy,” raised his family with great pride, traditions, and conservatism as a faith-loving, kind, and beautiful cowboy-tough man with a heart greater than the sun. He was the man who could change your brakes in 45 minutes, build a deck, design, and install living quarters in a horse trailer, restore classic cars, and fix everything. His happy times were with his horses, camping, and family gatherings where relaxing and teachable moments can be shared. He created 4 generations of horse loving riders who will carry on his legacy. He spent many years of weekends at Pleasant Acres Campground teaching his family outdoor survival skills, like catching rainbow trout and cooking them for dinner on the fire, while simultaneously making smoke signals. He has been a die-hard NY Jets fan and season ticket holder for 56 years and has made his family the same. His love of this country and country music is equal to his love of family. His admiration of Sussex County brought him to retirement on his dream ranch, where he leaves behind his beloved horses, Bud and Taylor, his dog Joy, his cat Blackie, and 5 goldfish. His fantastic sense of humor has inspired many and encouraged laughter among us all. Stan made significant contributions to the Boys & Girls Club by coaching youth soccer and football. He’s a member of the American Quarter Horse Association, the National Barrel Horse Association, the Elks Club, and the National Rifle Association. Right up to this summer, he spent his 25th year at the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show and brought the ‘57 Chevy to the Rodfather Gang Car Show, alongside his grandson’s ‘71 Nova, which they rebuilt together. His family believes he is their gift from God and is committed to living in his footsteps. Surviving him are his partner, Sylvia; daughters, Wendy and Angela; grandchildren, Sophia, Madison, Raquel, and Jesse; and his great-grandchildren, Violet and Casey, who have brought him great pleasure and joy all around; especially when riding horseback. He also leaves many treasured friends, nieces, nephews, and their children. GOD SPEED to heaven, Grampy. We love you forever and will miss you terribly. To quote him, “Everyone wants to go to heaven, but no one wants to die to get there.” May your brilliant mind and beautiful soul rest in peace.
