Stanley J. Pawlikowski

Stanley J. Pawlikowski, 80, passed away on October 22nd, 2025 after a long illness. Stanley served in the Airforce and was a proud veteran. Stanley was known around Syracuse as Stanley the Painter - honest, reliable and wonderful painting service. Upon retirement, Stanley transformed into Stanley the Scrapper, doing resale at the Regional Market and scrapping metal. Stanley had a knack for finding anything anyone could have ever wished for on the side of the road. He inspired his entire family with his thrifty ways and how to be an entrepreneur. 

Stanley was able to befriend literally anyone and he was always known to lend a hand. He always had a kind word to say about his Burger King Crew and for the folks down at the Post Office. 

Stanley is survived by his daughter, Cristy Riggall, and Son, Stephen (Kathy) Pawlikowski, his grandchildren: Nichelle Pawlikowski, Zachury (Dalgis) Pawlikowski, and Gillian Riggall, and by his four lovely sisters and their families. Stanley also leaves behind his beloved fur babies: Tank, Hobgoblin, and Rosie. 

Services will be held at Sears-Middleton Mathewson, North Syracuse, NY on Wednesday October 29th, 2025 from 4pm to 6pm.
