Stanley Edward Rose, 97, passed away on November 3, 2020. Following his graduation from high school in 1941, he enlisted in the United States Navy. After he was honorably discharged from the Navy, he took advantage of the GI Bill and he earned a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University. Stan took a Mechanical Engineering position with General Electric. The nature of his work necessitated numerous relocations at approximately five-year intervals. The Mechanical Engineering arena covers a vast array of specialties. Stan was considered a genius in the field, and he spent time working in a variety of positions (including, but not limited to) development, quality and design. After leaving GE in 1969, Stan was a part of a "start-up" company tasked with creating a specializeder. Later, he took on the role of a consultant in Phoenix, Arizona assisting major companies such as Motorola and Siemens as well as smaller accounts. He continued as a consultant into his 80's, and amassed an impressive list of 21 patents during his career. Stan was self-taught in the area of Auto CAD, which has a reputation for a notoriously high learning curve within computer-aided drafting forums. He taught an Advanced Mechanical Engineering course at ASU. Stan leaves behind a son, a daughter, seven grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. His wife, Marge, preceded him in death.
