Stanley Charles Boho died February 16, 2021 at Center for Hope Hospice in Scotch Plains, NJ after a recent hospitalization. Stanley was born April 28, 1929 in Newark, NJ and lived in Newark and Irvington before purchasing his first and only family home in Union in 1965. He attended Ann Street School and graduated from East Side Commercial and Technical High School in Newark in 1946, where he played the violin for two years in the Symphony Orchestra. He immediately went to work for Western Electric (later AT&T) in Kearny, NJ. Stanley spent his entire 43 year career at Western Electric and advanced to the level of Senior Draftsman and Associate Engineer. Stanley attended night school from 1949-1950 at Essex County Vo-Tech, receiving a certificate in Mechanical Drafting/Elementary Drawing I. He retired in 1989 at age 60. Dad jokingly said he never went to “Kinnygarden” as he called it, and was still a success. Stanley and Martha (Hodulich) were married in 1955, and were together almost 52 years until Martha’s death in 2007. Stanley was at one time an accomplished target shooter and enjoyed playing pinochle with his wife Martha and their friends. He and Martha loved to go out polka dancing, often wherever Walter Lesniak and his Orchestra were playing. Stanley bravely served his country in the US Naval Reserve.
Stanley was pre-deceased by his parents Anthony “Anton” and Frances (Wolcz) Boho, and his beloved wife Martha. He is survived by his three children; June (Boho) Roser and her husband Gregory who was Stanley’s primary caregiver for 5 years before his death, and their daughters Christine and Victoria, Steven Boho and his wife Isabel and their sons Andrew and Jason, Stanley “Stash” Boho and his companion Ada Funes and his sons Nicholas and Matthew.
Stanley was also pre-deceased by his older brother Walter, and nieces Barbara (Boho) Creighton and Linda (Boho) Eorio. He is also survived by his nephew Joseph Boho and his niece Nancy (Boho) Raimondi.
