Stanley lived in Osprey, Florida. Relationship established via deed transfer in 1953 which listed Walter's death in 1933 and all the children's names. Also through another deed transfer upon Sophia's death in 1981.

~Further investigation turned up a death certificate for a Frank Kmiecik, age 26 born Dec 9, 1918, who also lived at 4101 Burger Ave. Frank died Aug 30, 1945 in the county jail of natural causes due to some sort of psychosis.
