Obituary of Stanley Horner

Please share a memory of Stanley to include in a keepsake book for family and friends.
On the evening of September 25, 2016, Stanley Horner Jr. passed away peacefully in his home in North Hanover Township, New Jersey, surrounded by his loved ones. Stan was 89 years old at the time of his passing. Born on October 15, 1926, to Stanley and Ethel Hopkins Horner of Sykesville New Jersey, he served his country faithfully for two years, in the United States Army. Stan is survived by his wife of 65 years Pearl Emma Horner. Stan and Emma have been residents of North Hanover Township New Jersey for the last 59 years. There, they raised their four children, Pamela Catalfamo (George), predeceased; Melissa Raywood, Bruce Horner (Camille), and Miles Horner. Stan is also survived by his 14 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren. Stan was an active member of his local government serving as a Township Committeeman for 11 years and Mayor of North Hanover for one term. Stan and his wife Emma ran two successful businesses until his retirement. Stan shared a love of travelling with his wife Emma and their friends throughout the years. He spent each fall at the family’s cabin with his sons, grandsons, and friends for their annual hunting trip. Hunting was one of Stan’s favorite pastimes. Stan loved to participate in various sports throughout the years including football, softball, and bowling. A quiet man, Stan had a wicked sense of humor and a loyalty to his family, friends, and recliner, which few have ever possessed. Among his many joys in life, farming and spending time with his wife and family were his most treasured. He was a friend to all he met, a poet, and the patriarch of a family who loved him.
