Larry was born Sept. 25, 1953, in Youngstown, the son of Andrew and Dorothy Bukovinsky Stanislav.

Larry was a 1971 graduate of Ursuline High School. After attending Youngstown State University, he began working for Youngstown Tool & Die, a family owned business in 1969. He has had the opportunity to learn the manufacturing process by starting at the entry level position and advancing to foreman, shop manager, and then President in 1996. His innovative ideas have elevated YTD to one of the top die manufacturers in the country.

He was past volunteer for the Poland Fire Department. He was a member of the Holy Family Church, the Aluminum Extruders Council, Youngstown Warren Chamber of Commerce, and the Poland Knights of Columbus. His greatest love was spending time with his family. He will be deeply missed.
