GRANGER - Stanley J. Suski, age 78, of Granger, passed away on April 24, 2017, at 3:50 PM at St. Joseph Regional Medical Center in Mishawaka, IN. He was born August 27, 1938, to Stanley and Alice (Rybick) Suski in South Bend, Indiana. On July 30, 1960, Stanley married Iva Barrett. She survives. Stanley worked for Lumber Specialties in various capacities. He started with unloading boxcars, truck driver, and then as a mechanic. He invented a conveyor system that assisted with the processing of the lumber. Stan and his wife Iva opened their own business, Granger Lawnmower Place, where they have served their community for many years. His greatest joy was racing Super Modified and Late Model racecars. Stan built, maintained, and raced cars at most of the local race tracks. He also enjoyed Modified Lawn Tractor racing. If he needed a tool, he would fabricate his tools before he would go out and buy them. Stan was a Volunteer Fireman with the Harris Township Fire Department where he worked up through the ranks and eventually was the Chief. He enjoyed line dancing, history, and would take 8mm movies and transfer them to DVDs. Stan loved his wife and family and enjoyed spending time with them. Stanley is survived by his wife of 56 years, Iva; his sons, Steve (Mary Jo) Suski of Little Rock, AR, Scott (Debra) Suski and Stacy Suski, both of Mishawaka; six grandchildren, two great-grandchildren; his siblings, Ralph (Diane) Suski, Tony (Kaye) Suski, Mary Hanna, and Betty (Paul) Winslow.
