Stanley Anthony LaSovage was one of ten children born to Anthony and Cecelia Lisowicz(LaSovage). He was born in Michigan's upper penninsula in the town of Caspian. After finishing high school, Stan moved down to lower Michigan to work, and stayed with his sister Josephine.
Stanley went home for dinner with his friend, Ellis Boyce and met his future bride, Dorothy Boyce. Stan and Dorothy were married on September 16, 1939. They purchased a house in Redford Township, a suburb of Detroit, and settled in to raise a family. They had four children: Sandy, Mike, Jim and Kathy.
Stan drove a milk truck for a number of years. He also worked with Ellis for several years in his company. After retirement he was maintainance for a doctors office in Livonia.
Dorothy and Stan always had a large vegetable garden in their back yard. They used to let us grand kids help in the gardens whenever we were there to stay. But we could never resist sampleing the tomatoes, beans, and strawberries.
When we were small, Grandpa would sing funny songs and bounce us up and down on his foot. He would always use silly names and phrases to make us laugh. We found out when we were older, not all the words were made up but learned from his parents who settled here from Austria.
As they grew older Dorothy developed Alzheimers disease and Stan never failed to be there for her. He cared for her for as long as possible in their home. After she absolutely had to move into St. Mary's, Stan was there to see to her care every step of the way, visiting twice a day every day right up until Dorothy passed in February 1993. Stan spent his last three years living with his daughter, Sandy, surrounded by his whole family. He Passed away one day shy of Dorothy's 5th angel day anniversary.
Stanley is survived by his four children, nine grandchildren, and 10 great grandchildren.
