Stanley "Stan" H Groff

Stanley Groff, 83, passed away on March 8, 2025, after a long battle with liver disease, surrounded by his loved ones. Born in Southern California, Stan was a devoted husband, father, and friend. He is survived by his cherished wife, Janet; his children, Darryn, Rochelle and Kimberley, and seven grandchildren. His professional career was dedicated to Electrical design in the engineering and construction industry, where he expertly performed his work and led others with genuine care and a good dose of humor. His compassion and leadership left a lasting impact on all who knew him. Beyond his career, Stan found great joy in many hobbies: wood carving, golfing, boating, fishing, serving as an elder and youth group leader at church, dabbling with the guitar, flying small planes, motorcycles, race cars that he owned and drag raced even with cataracts, go-karts, all around handyman with at least 3 sets of every tool imaginable, and he loved washing cars. He truly worked to live rather than lived to work. Above all, Stan's greatest happiness came from praying with friends/family or anyone he came across that seemed to need prayer, volunteering in the church sound booth, spending time with his wife, children and grandchildren who were always on his heart and mind. Our hope is a celebration of Stan's life will be captured here with documented memories and/or photos of those whose lives he touched.
