Stanley H. Fetterman
March 29, 1934 - January 26, 2018
Our dearest husband and father, Stanley Herbert Fetterman passed away early morning Friday, January 26, 2018 at the age of 83. Our hearts are broken as we have lost the kindest, most gentle, caring soul.
Stan was a devoted and caring husband, father, grandfather and friend. He had a sweet and gentle nature and was always willing to lend a hand. He was often smiling and interested in knowing more about his friends and their families. He was a loyal friend and continued to see his school age friends throughout his life.
People were drawn to Stan for his warmth and sincerity. He was a simple, mellow and sensitive person who will be sorely missed by those who loved him.
A native San Franciscan, Stan grew up in the Sunset and attended Lawton elementary school, Presidio Junior High and Lincoln High (class of 1952). He attended Stanford University and after serving in the Army medical core in Puerto Rico, he graduated from San Francisco State University as an accomplished accountant.
Stan was an avid baseball fan and ace pitcher while at Lincoln and was given a baseball scholarship to Stanford University and was then drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates. While he did not pursue a baseball career, he did work as an accountant for various companies, most importantly family businesses with his brother Charles.
Stan is survived by his devoted wife, Wendie; his children Janine (spouse Grant) and Kevin; granddaughter Audrey; brother Charles (Chuck)(spouse Lesley), nieces and nephew Heidy Feinberg, Jeff Fetterman, Natasha Terk and Lisa Buchanan; many cousins and lifelong friends.
Funeral services will be at 2pm on Sunday, January 28 at Eternal Home Cemetery, 1051 El Camino Real, Colma, CA. A memorial will follow at approximately 3:30pm at Peninsula Temple Sholom, 1655 Sebastian Drive, Burlingame.
We’d like to thank our amazing, loving and devoted caregivers, Mesake Laiseni and his family. Your family are angels.
The family suggests donations to the Alzheimer’s Association (alzfdn.org) or your local blood bank.
Stan, we love you and will always miss you.
