Clarence Leo Standrowicz, age 90, of Webster, died Thursday, November 17, 2016, at Lanessa Extended Care in Webster.

He was the husband of the late, Emily (Pattee) Standrowicz, who died September 26, 2006.  He leaves six sons, Peter Standrowicz and his wife Jane of Oxford, Paul Standrowicz and his wife Nancy of North Grosvenordale, Stephen Standrowicz and his wife Patty of Ellicott City, MD, James Standrowicz of Webster, Martin Standrowicz and his wife Carleen of North Brookfield, Alan Standrowicz and his wife Julie of Millbury; five daughters, Mary Zajac of Woodstock, Anne Sutton and her partner Dave of New London, Janet Richardson of Millbury, Jean Standrowicz of Webster, Laura Standrowicz and her partner Terry of Texas; 15 grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.  He was predeceased by a daughter. Martha Standrowicz of Webster, and by a sister, Helene Standrowicz.

He was born in Webster, son of the late Peter and Beatrice (Forand) Standrowicz and lived in Webster all his life.  He was a World War II, United States Navy veteran and was a retired mail carrier, having worked for many years for the United States Postal Service in Webster.  He was a member of the American Legion and the National Letter Carriers Association.  He enjoyed playing golf and cards. 

Dad started his family with Emily on Slater Street beginning two decades creating his greatest legacy. They then moved to Negus Street and created a homestead overflowing with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.  He was planted firmly in Webster for 90 years.   The homestead became the neighborhood playground where all were welcomed.  Dad would talk to anyone and everyone, mostly wanting to brag about his children.  He carried a picture of his family to show off whenever he was given the chance.  The picture became tattered but he carried it nonetheless. His utmost enjoyment was family gatherings where he sat in glee among organized chaos surrounded by his clan being entertained with perpetual stories of days gone by.  Clarence was a man of great honor, kindness, pride and faith, the epitome of fatherhood, who will be missed beyond measure.
