Stanley Kempinski passed away peacefully at his home in Bayonne on Monday June 26th, 2015 - he was 99. Stanley was born in Jersey City on May 3rd, 1916 while his parents were visiting from Poland. He returned home with them to Poland where he was raised on the family farm. Prior to the outbreak of WWII and with the encouragement of his parents he returned to Jersey City to start a new life as US citizen. He wound up joining the United States Army and served proudly in WWII as a tank commander where he was decorated with the Purple Heart and Silver Star metals for his gallantry in action. Stanley led a full and active life, and even into his 80s and 90s he loved to travel and never missed an opportunity to go on a cruise vacation somewhere around the world with whomever wanted to join him. He also became an ardent ballroom dancer later in life, and always extolled the benefits of dancing as "the best form of exercise as it developed both the body and the mind." He remained active, healthy and strong well into his late 90s. Stanley was the devoted husband of the late Nellie (nee: Sienkiewicz) and loving father to Patricia Dupey and husband Kenneth and Rich Kempinski and wife Lynn. Stanley was also the beloved grandfather to Michael Dupey and wife Eileen, Kristina Bunch and husband Leland and to Alyssa & Alexander Kempinski, as well as being cherished great grandfather to Gavin & Braden Dupey and to Alexandra & Leland Bunch.
