Stanley J. Shader, passed away peacefully on Sunday, March 24, 2019, at the age of 93, at Hospice of the Comforter in Altamonte Springs. Born and raised in Orlando, Fla., Stanley was the son of Ben and Bessie Shader. He spent his early days milking cows and picking citrus on his family farm that borders Shader Road. After attending Fairvillla Elementary, Orlando High School and University of Florida, he was drafted into the army at the age of 19 to serve in World War II. Upon return, he opened an army surplus store on Church Street, started several businesses and ultimately co-founded Shader Brothers Corporation/Personal Mini Storage. Stan was devoted to helping others and was involved in numerous charitable organizations. His greatest pleasures were spending time with family and friends, as well as playing Scrabble, racquetball and cards.
