Stanley Selin
August 6, 1928 — July 14, 2017
Stanley Arnold Selin passed away on July 14, 2017 in Minnesota at the age of 88.
Stanley is survived by his wife, Meradie; his sons, Alan and wife Oanh, David and wife Rachel, and Jonathan; his grandchildren, William, Andrew and wife Erin, Therese, Steven, and Amanda. He is preceded in death by his mother and father, Ethel and Arnold, as well as his siblings, Douglas and Janet (Bonnie).
Stanley was born on August 6th, 1928 in Grantsburg, Wisconsin to Arnold and Ethel Selin. He graduated from Bethel University with degrees in history and philosophy and worked ships on Lake Superior. He married his honey, Meradie, after being in love with her for years. The couple had 3 children, 5 grandchildren, and 4 great grandchildren who he loved dearly. Stanley enjoyed teaching them how to work smarter, not harder throughout their lives. His children and grandchildren remember him as a kind, intelligent, and patient man who wanted them to make the best out of life. He did this through a constant stream of puns, jokes, and anecdotes that always left them smiling. After moving to Fridley, MN in 1958 Stanley began working for Honeywell as a drafter and then Control Data as a technical writer.
Stanley was an accomplished author, craftsman, painter, and all around Renaissance man. Their home was an example of all the inventions and gadgets a person could come up with to make life easier. He was a joyful person who loved making everyone laugh with a twinkle in his eye and was passionate about learning more about his genealogy and heritage. He was active in his communities and often contributed stories and articles to local papers in his home town of Trade Lake, Wisconsin.
A memorial is scheduled for 11 am, July 20 at Miller Funeral Home located at 6210 Hwy 65 NE, Minneapolis, MN 55432. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Stanley’s life.
