Stanley Louis Preneta, 89, of Kingwood Twp., passed away July 4, 2018 after a valiant battle with Alzheimer's disease.
Born in Dutch Neck, NJ, Stan had lived in Windsor Village, Robbinsville, NJ most of his life, moving there in 1961 from Cranbury.
He raised five children and lived a full life, with daughter Cynthia and family as next-door neighbors in Windsor for 34 years. He then moved for the last four years with daughter, Kate Bailey in Kingwood Township.
Stanley served in the U.S. Navy from 1948 to 1953 as a radio operator on the SS Blenny submarine. He retired as a supervisor at Verizon after starting with NJ Bell as a lineman many years ago. He was a Pioneers of America member. Stan enjoyed gardening, ocean fishing, barbecues, and coffee with friends. A lifetime member of the Cranbury First Aid Squad beginning as a young man, Stan was honored for saving the life of a drowning boy by performing CPR. This was an amazing, caring, generous man who will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
He was the son of the late Ludwik and Katarzyna Jarocz Preneta, father of the late Michael Stanley Preneta and Constance Lorraine Preneta, and brother of the late Joseph Preneta.
Stan is survived by three daughters, Kate Bailey, Cynthia Louise Schaaf, and Karen Poli, along with Cynthia's husband, Raymond; his sister-in-law, Margaret Preneta; nephew, Joseph Preneta, and his grandchildren, Erin Bailey, Tyler Preneta, Michael DeAngelo, Raymond Schaaf Jr., Samantha Schaaf, Steven Schaaf, Carly Schaaf, John Poli, Frank Poli, and his greatgrandsons, Dylan Schaaf and Mikey DeAngelo.
Graveside services will be held at the Princeton Memorial Park 403 Gordon Rd, Robbinsville, NJ. Arrangements are under the direction of the Garefino Funeral Home, Lambertville, NJ.
