Obituary for Stanley Dale Rock
HARTFORD
Stanley Rock, 72, passed away Thursday, August 6, 2020 at Glens Falls Hospital.
Born November 4, 1947 to the late Joseph and Elizabeth (Gibson) Rock.
Stanley graduated from Hartford Central School in 1965. On October 22, 1966, Stanley married his childhood sweetheart, Janet Mercure in Whitehall. After that he entered the U.S. Airforce in 1967. After several deployments overseas, Staff Sergeant Rock and his family settled in Wilbraham, Massachusetts in 1975. Stanley and Janet eventually moved back “home” to Hartford in the 1990’s and settled into their life on the farm.
He worked locally as a truck driver with Washington County Highway Department and previously Gomes Construction and AC Motor Express in Western Massachusetts.
Stanley was never far from his sweetheart in life. So, it comes as no surprise to those who knew him that he passed five months to the day from Janet’s death. They were married 53 years until Janet’s passing on March 6, 2020.
He enjoyed ice fishing, watching Nascar, gardening, landscape, construction, and most of all spending time with his family.
In addition to his parents and wife, Stanley was predeceased by his siblings, Lucille Schult and Joseph Rock.
Left to cherish his memory his daughter Robin Rock, his sons; Barry Rock (Caitlyn) and Peter Rock (Roberta Mott), his grandchildren; Bryce, Jacob, Travis, Corrina, and Maggie, his siblings Rolland (Mary) Rock, Virginia (Daniel) Lambert as well as many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
A graveside service has been arranged for both Stanley and Janet on Saturday, August 22, 2020 at 10:00 in Morningside Cemetery in Hartford. Protocols are that everyone wears a mask, practice social distancing and refrain from hugging.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to the Hartford Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 121 Hartford, NY 12838, or to the Argyle Emergency Squad.
Arrangements are in the care of the M.B. Kilmer Funeral Home, 123 Main Street, Argyle, NY 12809.
