Stan returned to Evansville where he met and married his wife of 57 years. They had two sons together, Jon Michael Rueger, and James Andrew Rueger.

Stan worked for Alcoa for 28 years as well as working successfully in sales in his later years. He was an avid reader and a great cook. Stan was always learning and endlessly curious about the world.
