Stanislaw "Stan" Golab's Obituary
Stanislaw 'Stan' Golab, age 59, passed away on Friday, May 31, unexpectedly at his home. Stan was born on May 2nd, 1960 in Łeka, Poland to Jozefa and Jan Golab. He came to Lorain, Ohio at the age of 33.
Stan made his career as an HVAC technician for Ray Gidich in Lorain and as a local real estate investor. He worked at Ray Gidich for 20 years.
