Stanley Gryba

April 19, 1933 – October 19, 2025

Stan was born in Spalding, SK into a proud and hardworking family of Polish immigrants.  He loved people, the beauty of the prairies and most of all, his large extended family.  Stan was a frugal and unselfish man who cared most about providing for and spending time with the people he loved.

Stan started his career with SaskTel in 1951, in North Battleford.  His work ethic and people skills served him well as he progressed from an apprentice to senior management.  He was respected, admired and appreciated by his co-workers at all levels.

While working, Stan spent many days and nights travelling throughout his rural service areas.  He made friends wherever he travelled, and those special people included his soul mate, Helen Adams. Stan and Helen were married in Wilkie on September 3, 1956, and their two boys were born there.  They moved to North Battleford in 1961.  In 1967, Stan accepted his first management position with SaskTel, and the family briefly moved to Prince Albert, en route to Melfort, where Stan retired in 1987.  Stan and Helen’s last big move was back to North Battleford in 1991, to be closer to children, grandchildren and Helen’s family.

Left to mourn Stan’s passing are his beloved wife of 69 years, Helen; son Kevin (Carmon), granddaughter Kaylee (Jordan) and great granddaughter Evie, grandson Shayne (Kelti); son Greg (Dianne), grandson Brad (Chantel), great grandchildren Sadie and Jordan, granddaughter Stephanie (Colby), great grandchildren Violet and Camden; grandson Daniel, and Stan’s sister, Gloria Tetzlaff.

Stan was predeceased by his parents Joseph and Sadie and brothers Leo and Casey.

Stan will be lovingly remembered for his mischievous smile, his quick wit, and his athletic prowess. His kindness and fair-minded approach to all in his circle of influence are inspiring.

A private family service will be held in North Battleford.
