He grew up working on his parent's farm where he learned his work ethic and would harvest cotton crops until the early 1970s. In high school, Stan enjoyed football and became a lifelong fan of baseball after tuning into radio broadcasts of the Cleveland Indians in the 1940s. After graduating from Ennis High School, he worked for the railroad. He served in the U.S. Army. His early experiences prepared him for family life. In 1961 he met and married Maxine O’Brian and settled in the Oak Cliff neighborhood in Dallas, Texas. For the next 36 years, he partnered with Maxine to run the family business, Stan’s Country Kitchen. Throughout the decades, he was a family man who loved the game of golf, visiting with friends, and never lost touch with his rural upbringing. Survivors include his son, Bill Svehlak; daughters: Jane Svehlak, Patsy Svehlak Richards and husband, Alden, and Susie Svehlak; grandchildren: Makaela, Olivia, Julia and Jake; siblings, Marie Shurden, Lawrence Svehlak, Kenneth Svehlak and Nancy Valek; and many friends.
