Stanley "Stan" Leon Ho was born on May 17, 1955 in Milwaukee, WI to David (Ho Sun) and Diane (Ng Dick Gee) Ho. He died suddenly of natural causes in the morning hours of September 14, 2021 in his home in Boynton Beach, FL. Stan is survived by his loving wife Valerie Katz Ho; his eldest brother Danny (Mary) Ho of Germantown, WI; his younger sister Arlene (Matt) Lulich of Orland Park, IL; his children Tara Ho (partner Jonathan) of Reston, VA; Alison Ho (partner Kyle) of Glendale, WI; Tyler (Anida) Ho of Windsor, WI; and his grandchildren Graham and Siena Ho of Windsor, WI. He was a proud and loving uncle to James (Linda) Ho of Milwaukee, WI; Christopher (Jessica) Ho of Park City, UT; Amy Lulich of Chicago, IL; and Mike Lulich of Chicago, IL. Stan adored being a great uncle to Alex, Madeline, Sarah, Jackson and Emily. Special acknowledgement to his long-time friend from Marquette, Bob Bryson. Stan had many cherished friends, loved ones, and co-workers; simply too many to name. Stan was preceded in death by his parents David and Diane Ho, his brother Donald Ho and Valerie's father Leon Katz.
Stan was born and raised in the city of Milwaukee and was a proud graduate of Washington High School and Marquette University in Electrical Engineering. He was a dedicated employee of Allen Bradley and Rockwell Automation for over 36 years. When Stan wasn't working, he was cheering on his kids at swim meets, gymnastics meets, choir concerts, and many other activities in the Pewaukee/Hartland area. Stan was a faithful blood and platelets donor to the American Red Cross, a Big Brother with BBBS, and truly a selfless giver to all. Stan was blessed to find new love later in life when he met Valerie on a Caribbean cruise and together they loved to travel the world. Since moving to Florida, Stan found enjoyment working in real estate with Valerie in her Keller Williams business. Valerie's son Zach Simler, wife Kayla Carpenter Simler, and their children Alexis, Kourtney, and grandson on the way, will also miss making memories with Papa Stan. His family will miss Stan's visits to Milwaukee for the annual Ho Family Tailgate, Thanksgiving for egg rolls, trips to see his grandkids, and so much more. Stan's aura as the life of the party will forever live on through the 1986 hit song "Celebration" by Kool & The Gang!
Stan/Dad/Uncle Stan/Stinky Stan/Papa Stan, we can't wait to see you again in Heaven someday. Go Marquette; Go Pack Go; #BucksIn6; we love you; and may you Rest In Peace.
The family will be celebrating Stan's life privately in the coming weeks. Donations can be made in his honor to Big Brothers Big Sisters of Milwaukee. Condolences can be sent to: Valerie Katz Ho, Palm Chase Lakes, 10239 N. Circle Lake Dr. #101, Boynton Beach, FL 33437 https://www.jsonline.com/obituaries/mjs050515
