In 1953, he was named All-Time All-American Men's Lacrosse as a midfielder. He graduated with a business and industrial engineering degree.

After retirement, he and his wife, Victoria "Vicky" Dorney, moved to Little River, South Carolina, where they spent many years enjoying golfing and spending time at the beach. After Vicky's death in 2015, Stan moved to Atlanta to be near family and became an active member at Saint Anne's Terrace for the past seven years. In the fall of 2018, he was elected vice-president of the Residents Council and enjoyed the community's activities, staff and residents.
