Stanley Anthony Rucki

From what I've learned from family stories my grandfather, Stanley Anthony Rucki was quite the fisherman. I have seen several pictures of him over the years where he's showing his catch like pictured here. I too have a great love for fishing. Just this last week I went fishing here in Texas on the Guadelupe River but unfortunately I only caught a few small catfish unlike Stanley's large catch here.

Stanley Anthony Rucki

We have here a really nice picture of my Grandfather, Stanley Anthony Rucki. Stanley was the oldest of five children; his siblings were Boleslaw J., Bertha, Sophie & Isabell.

Eva Rose Weber

Here's a picture of my grandmother, Eva Rose Weber. Grandma was born on 27 November 1922 in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. She is the daughter of Michael Weber & Rosalia Magalina Merle. She was married three times. First to Bernard Kill (Killed in WWII), Stanley Anthony Rucki (Died of a heart attack in 1958) and lastly Phillip Henry Foss.

Eva Rose (Weber) Foss passed away on 22 Jan 2000 in East Grand Rapids, Kent County, Michigan. She is interred in Fort Custer National Cemetery, Kalamazoo County, Michigan.

Stanley Anthony Rucki

Here's a picture of my grandfather, Stanley Anthony Rucki. Stanley was born on 3 Aug 1915 in Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio and passed away on 4 Jun 1958 in Batttle Creek, Calhoun County, Michigan. He is the son of Anthony Rucki & Adela Anna Kielb.

Stanley was previously married Betty Komives and they had three boys who were my mother's half brothers. Some stories have come down to me that my mother & aunt spent sometime with the Rucki family in the summers of their youth.

Stanley died before I was born so all I know about him has been told to me by my family. The story goes that he had a heart attack while he was working on the roof of his home, fell off the roof and was impaled on a fence. With his death my grandmother remarried and contact with the Rucki side of the family has been very limited over the years. In the past two years I've been in contact with my mother's cousin which has been real exciting to learn more about my Rucki side of the family.

Eva Rose (Weber) Kill

Here is the letter that my grandmother, Eva Rose Weber received from the War Department in 1946 notifying her of her husband Bernard M. Kill's burial location in St. Lo, France.

Bernard was Grandma's first husband. She later married Stanley A. Rucki & Philip H. Foss.
