On December 12, 1986 in Las Vegas, Nev., he was united in marriage to Louise A. Hackbarth, who was not only his partner in life but in his business, Ginkowski and Ginkowski, an accounting and income tax preparation firm started by his father. Also like his father Stan was an accomplished guitarist, playing in younger years with the Imperials and later with Bjorn, Ginkowski and White and before his passing with Rusty Nail. He also enjoyed hunting, woodworking, bargain hunting on eBay and golf.

An active member of the Kenosha Country Club, Stan had served as a board member and on the house and finance committees.

Survivors include his wife Louise; sons, Scott Ginkowski, and Brian (Alissa) Ginkowski, and his brother Richard (Judy) Ginkowski.

Along with his parents, Stan was preceded in death by a son, Jeffrey Ginkowski.
