ALBANY- Stanley C. Drozdal, 82, died on Monday February 7, 2005 at Teresian House surrounded by his loving family. He was born in Albany and was the son of the late Joseph and Antonina Wojtowicz Drozdal. He was Navy veteran, having served in both WWWI and the Korean War. Stan was a graduate of Philip Schuyler High School, Watervliet Arsenal Machinist Apprentice Program and Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute. He earned his engineering degree after 12 years of part time study. His forty year career at the Watervliet Arsenal evolved through the Apprentice Program all the way to Chief of Value Analysis and Configuration Management.
Stan's greatest loves were his family and golf. At one time a scratch golfer, he was very proud to achieve a PGA certified hole in one. He was a longtime member of the Western Turnpike Golf Club, golfing weekly with his brother John.

Stan was a longtime resident of Colonie and Albany. He was a communicant of St. Casimir's, Our Lady of Mercy and Christ the King Church.
Stan's family would like to extend their thanks to the Teresian House staff who not only took wonderful care of Stan's physical needs, but also cared for him and called him Stan the Man as a result of his habit of wearing Hugo cologne.

Benoit of Saratoga., caring step daughters, Karen Mercado of Albany and Linda Karacoloff of Slingerlands; much loved son in law Craig Benoit, his beloved grandson, Alex Benoit; his godson, Frank Marshall of Delmar and his sister Rita Drozdal of Albany.
