Obituary for Stanley P Milkowski Stanley P. "Stosh" Milkowski, 83, of White Hills, AZ passed away on Friday August 7, 2020 at his home with his daughter by his side. He was born on November 8, 1936 in Newark NJ, to Paul and Mary Milkowski. Stosh is survived by a son, Howard (Lucky) Meadows and his wife, Maryann of Mountainside, NJ; daughter, Diane Meadows of White Hills, AZ; sisters; Florence Amberg of Toms River, NJ and Kathleen Milkowski of Westfield, NJ; 12 grandchildren; 24 great-grandchildren and 3 great-great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents; the love of his life, Thelma Lou McCune; daughters; Lendsay Carlson and Terria Meadows; grandson, Daniel Lautz; brother; Edward Milkowski; sisters; Alice Nesta and Irene Milkowski. Stosh was a proud veteran who served in the United States Army. His post-military life was spent perfecting his trade as a carpet installer…he became the best in the business. His retirement brought him to Las Vegas, Nevada and then White Hills, Arizona where he would spend the rest of his years. He was finally at home. Now…the good stuff… To say that Stosh was a unique individual would be a massive understatement. His enormous character was almost impossible to believe. From a loving father figure with his children, to an amazing storyteller and game player with his grandchildren, and just an all-out superhero to his great-great grandchildren…Stosh was simply an amazing man with a HUGE heart! His impact upon 4 generations of people here on this Earth is immeasurable. He lived life to its fullest and enjoyed the best parts of it whether it was a good meal, playing the numbers, watching (and sometimes betting on) sports, and the occasional Miller High Life (with a dash of salt of course). A humble man with a humble life who left everyone he met with a lasting feel good memory. The stories he told were EPIC and his famously mispronounced words were always heart-warming. Anyone who knew him has a funny and happy story to share, as he truly was one of the rare people that actually made the world a better place to be a part of. He lived to laugh, he lived to provide, he lived to care, he lived to love, he lived to work hard, he lived to give his time to those around him, and he left this world with very few earthly possessions. I call that a job well done!! He gave where it mattered most and coveted where it counted least…But don't be shorting him on his slice of cake… The world lost one of the truly good ones!! Love you "Stosh"!!!!!!
