Richard Stanley Jung

He was the proud great, great grand child of German immigrants who came to this country in 1830. He grew up in Seguin and graduated from Seguin High School in 1935 and attended Texas Lutheran College in Seguin for two years before transferring to the University of Texas in Austin where he graduated with a Business Degree in 1942.

While at the University of Texas he was an active member in Delta Tau Delta Fraternity, served as editor of The Daily Texan, played the saxophone in the marching band and enlisted in the Navy Reserves.

Upon graduation he completed naval officer training at Notre Dame after which he proudly served throughout the war as a Lieutenant aboard the battleship USS Idaho, where he fought the Japanese in the Pacific.

During the War his ship was awarded seven battle stars for action which culminated with his ship's triumphal entry into Tokyo Bay in August 1945 to take part in the surrender of Japan on September 2, 1945.

After the war he moved to San Antonio and became President of Star Seat Cover Company until he founded the Stanley's Ice Station and the Quick Pick chain of convenience stores.

He was an active member and supporter in both time and finances to many fine organizations and clubs some of which included as a charter member of San Antonio Town Club, Lifetime member of UT Student Exes, Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church, Youth for Christ, San Antonio Kiwanis Club, Boy Scouts of America, San Antonio Optimist Club, Southwest Research Center, San Antonio Petroleum Club, Los Alegradores, The Revelers, Club Giraud, The Argyle, and the San Antonio Country Club.

He was preceded in death 11 years ago by his wife of 50 years the former Kathleen Victoria Kiech of Jonesboro, Arkansas and is survived by his four children, Richard Earle Jung and wife Lynn, living in Nashville, Tennessee, James Stanley Jung and wife Jeanne, living in San Antonio, Kiech Veon Jung and wife Susan, living in San Antonio and Sara Jung Bouchard and her husband Pat, living in San Antonio. He has nine grandchildren, Jason Jung, Kathleen Jung, Sara Jung, Jana Jung Eaton, James Buck Jung, Janiece Jung, Gretchen Jung, Lindsay Jung and Elizabeth Osborn and five great grandchildren, Corbin, Katie Rose, Carson, Mattie and Macie.

Stanley loved to be outdoors and related many fond memories of time spent with his buddies and pals while hunting and fishing.

He will always be remembered for his beautiful smile and genuine spiritual optimism along with his unselfish, graceful, and charitable spirit.

In particular he loved his Lord, Jesus Christ and gave unselfishly in both time and finances to his church, Alamo Heights Presbyterian where he served many years as Deacon, Elder and Director of the Church Sunday School and Mothers Day Out Program.

He practiced and lived by the Golden Rule to "Love your neighbor as yourself" and Boy Scout code to "Always leave a place in better condition than in which you found it".

He leaves us now to seek his rightful and deserved eternal rest in a better place than the one he left but only after he was able to compliment, improve and uplift the spirits a character of all who came in contact with him.

The family wishes to acknowledge and recognize those very special individuals with whom Stanley had a very special place in his heart and with whom he had the deepest respect and admiration and love for, in particular Dr. Anne Farrell and Mrs. Ruth Eilene Sullivan.

God Bless and God Speed.
