He was preceded in death by parents, Howard “Sam” Stansberry and Margret V. (Summers) Stansberry; as well as brothers, Phil Stansberry, Pete Stansberry, Jerry Stansberry and Jim Stansberry.
After his retirement, he enjoyed going on cruises, making trips to the Amish country, spending time shooting pool with friends made at the Senior Monongalians Center and also working out at Planet Fitness.
