Stanley J. “Stosh” Studzinski, Jr.
January 3, 1957 - February 26, 2022
On Saturday, February 26, 2022, Stanley J. Studzinski, Jr., affectionately known as “Stan,” “Studji” or “Stosh”, age 65, of Newark, DE, joined his many Angels. Born in Chester, PA, on January 3, 1957, he was the son of the late Stanley J. and Sara E. (O’Brien) Studzinski, Sr.
Stan worked at Sun Oil in Marcus Hook, PA, for ten years, Pepsi Co, in Wilmington, for several years and Chrysler in Newark, for a brief period. He received a Masters of Arts in Archaeology as well as a Bachelor of Science in Human Resource Management. Stan then became a teacher at Hodgson Vo-Tech school. For over 18 years he taught the millwright program which he formed and engineered as the number one program in the tri-state area. Stan was known by his students as “Mr. S” or “S.” During this time of his career, he touched a countless number of lives with his knowledge, life lessons and wit.
Stan had many hobbies, but his enjoyment was cooking for his family and each year growing his vegetable garden and sharing his garden with Jacob and Conner, his two grandsons.
Stan met his soul mate, Julie Carver, in April 1985, and they married 7 months later, starting their journey of life together for over 36 yrs. Stan is survived by his wife, Julie; three children, Richard Louis (Stephanie), Ilene Wilson (Mark), and Andrew Studzinski (Brianna); six grandchildren, Cora, Cole, Mady, Kayla, Jacob, and Conner; three sisters, Millie Davis (Ed), Lorraine Bentle (Sam), and Elaine Mueller (Rick); and several nieces and nephews.
Stan will be missed by many, and always loved forever by his family.
A visitation for family and friends will be held from 4 pm until 7 pm on Friday, March 11, 2022, at Spicer-Mullikin Funeral Home, 121 West Park Place, Newark, DE, where a funeral service will begin at 7 pm. Entombment will be held privately.

Julie and family. I am so sorry for your great loss. Julie, I remember you talking of Stan with such great affection. It was clear to me that you loved him greatly. There are no words I can offer to bring real comfort. He left you all at a young age. I do pray and wish that you and your family will find peace, and take comfort and happiness in your memories of Stan. I did not know him well. He and I exchanged some ideas and I could sense his passion for things he believes. Take care of yourself and each other.

To Julie and family…Mr. S was a huge influence in my life. He helped pave the way for my career and my trade. If I never met him who knows where I would be now. The man will never be forgotten, we still talk about him to this day. He made a permanent impression on many lives, to say that is rare is an understatement.
Leslee Coppage
My condolences to you Mrs. Studzinski and to your family. Mr. S will be remembered as a wonderful teacher in my heart. Mr. S taught my son, Travis Dash who attended Hodgson from 2012-2015. Travis enjoyed Mr. S millwright class and learned a lot about the industry. He engaged young men to do well in the field of Millwright and to strive for more never settle for less. My thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss. Leslee Coppage

My condolences to all of Stan’s friends, family and co-workers. I will always treasure being his co-worker and friend at Hodgson Vo-Tech. His kindness, generosity, and especially his wit- that reminded me so much of my father’s quirky humor -will stay forever in my memories. -Cat

I met Stan when I turned approx 20yrs. Now 69, we softball together for many yrs. When we weren’t working, we pretty much together all the time. We use to hang out at Highland Cafe 3rd & Highland Ave., McKay Bar 3rd & Trainer Sts. Then on Friday, nights we went to the Golden Slipper, soon the warm got warm were playing softball 3 nights a week till the end of Sept. Then he met Julie and she said to me, I am going married Stan, when they started dating we hardly saw Stan, then next thing he married move away. I didn’t see much of each other after. Then approximately 3-4 yrs ago Stan reach to out to me I use to come his house once a month and we would go to lunch. Then covid came and I stay in my house a lot, until I got all my shots including the booster. Then last week I got this phone call from his Juilie, she says Stan pass away, I was silent for minute and I said wow can’t believe it. It brought some tears to me, my wife to me are ok, I said lost a friend today. I was planning to call again when I open trailer in Indian Acres, MD. In the Middle of March. Stan, you are one of God’s Angels now, I you will look over your wife, and family and guide them thru life. I miss you a lot and you will be forgotten by me Rich Griffin, REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER till we meet again.
