He had enlisted in the Merchant Marine. Served during World War II. He had the rank of Merchant Seaman. Service number was 260668.

He is listed in the 1930 Census living in Chelsey, Massachusetts with his Step Father and mother Charles and Helen Szymanowski.

The air raid on Bari (German: Luftangriff auf den Hafen von Bari, Italian: Bombardamento di Bari) was an air attack by German bombers on Allied forces and shipping in Bari, Italy, on 2 December 1943, during World War II. 105 German Junkers Ju 88 bombers of Luftflotte 2 achieved surprise and bombed shipping and personnel operating in support of the Allied Italian Campaign, sinking 27 cargo and transport ships, as well as a schooner, in Bari harbour. The attack lasted a little more than an hour and put the port out of action until February 1944. The release of mustard gas from one of the wrecked cargo ships added to the loss of life. The British and US governments covered up the presence of mustard gas and its effects on victims of the raid. Stanley was a seaman aboard the Lyman Abbott at the time and died 1 week later.
