Stanley Palinski Jr.

Stanley John Palinski Jr. passed peacefully onto his heavenly home on Saturday, August 2nd, 2025.  Stanley was born on March 12th, 1945 in Bronx, New York. He was predeceased by his parents, Stanley John Palinski Sr. and Dorothy King Palinski. Stan was also pre-deceased by his beautiful wife of 55 years, Daphne Palinski and his sister, Catherine St. John.

Stan is survived by his children, Kevin Kranenburg, Douglas Kranenburg and his wife, Kathy, Linda Sokolove and her husband, David, and Antonette Stiebritz and her husband, Joseph.

Stan was a magnetic force. People gravitated towards him, and he accepted and loved them all. He was compassionate, loving, caring, attentive and hilarious. If you were around Stan, you were guaranteed to laugh because he always had a great story for you.

Stan was actively involved in the Army from August 1965 to September 1968, where he was enlisted in the infantry. He continued his service in the Army by serving in the Reserves until August 1971. Stan also was a dedicated and seasoned truck driver for close to 40 years.  If anyone could pack a moving van precisely without anything being broken, it would have been Stan.

Stan is honored for being a grandfather of 13 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.  He would always welcome family home with his delicious dinners cooked in his own special way.  He would entertain family and friends each night by feeding the deer from his own hands.  He could be known as the “deer whisperer”!

Most of all, Stan loved going to Providence Church in Ormond Beach under Pastor Tim Mann, who helped him grow in his faith.  Not only did Stan admire pastor Tim, but also the associate pastors along with the church’s loving congregation.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to be made to Providence Church, 1151 West Granada Blvd., Ormond Beach, Florida 32174.
