Stanley Frolich Sr

Stanley Frolich Sr. passed away peacefully at home with his family by his side, just days before his 94th birthday.

He was born in Superior to John and Johanna (Tomazavich) Frolich, where he lived until he graduated from high school. He met the love of his life and high school sweetheart, Lila Husak and they married in Dec., 1943.

Together they had four children. They remained married until her death in March 1993.  

Immediately after high school he went to work in the coal mines and later worked in the trona mines.

He was also an entrepreneur and co-owned and operated Frolic's Enco service station and later a radiator repair shop in Rock Springs with his brother John.  

In his youth, he enjoyed snow machining, camping, hunting, fishing and spending time with family.

He continued to hunt and fish well into his 80s. Traveling and spending time with friends and family were among his favorite pastimes. After his retirement, he moved to Pinedale.

He lived there for several years, making many life-long friends. He moved back to Rock Springs four years ago for health reasons, where he enjoyed going for rides, cookies and making lasting memories with his family. 

Stan was a member of the Fraternal Order of Eagles since 1946 and was also a 70-year member of the United Mine Workers Association.   

He was preceded in death by his parents, John and Johanna Frolich, brothers Victor and John Frolich, sister Jeanne Tominc, wife Lila Frolich, daughter Betty Ann, grandson Kyle E. Frolic and dear friend Betty Edwards.
