    Stanley R. Hittman (Stan) passed away after a prolonged illness on March 1, 2018. He was 77 years old.

    Stan spent 10 years in the design and development of nuclear power plants, and then spent 41 years manufacturing and selling printing inks.
     
    Stan’s career while at Superior Printing Inks was multidirectional. He began designing and building several manufacturing facilities and followed that with building a successful and profitable coast to coast branch network. He went on to lead all day-to-day operations. He retired from Superior Printing Inks as EVP after 34 years.
     
    Jim La Rocca, who retired as COO of Superior Printing Ink in 2017, knew Stan for about 38 years, and they became close friends.
     
    “Stan was blessed with a good mind and the ability to see things clearly. This helped him earn two post graduate degrees and success in two fields,” said La Rocca.
     
    La Rocca worked closely with Stan, who was a mentor to him.
     
    “Stan’s vision, ability and direction were the key components that provided significant sustainable and profitable growth for over 20 years during the 1980s and 1990s,” La Rocca said. “His willingness to mentor many people who became industry executives past and present was admirable.”
     
    “Stan directed my efforts while at Superior over 25 years,” LaRocca added. “He was a great teacher and I was blessed to be one of his students. He had a great ability to access situations, opportunities and pitfalls and more often than not, select the correct path, and a work ethic beyond excellent. He treated all people fairly and with dignity and respect.”
     
    Dan Shevkun, MNYPIA president and director manufacturing services at Superior Printing Ink, said Stan had a love of his family.
     
    “I've known Stanley at least 30+ years,” Shevkun noted. “Stan worked as hard as anyone I've ever met, but I think that was a small part of his life. His greatest impact was on his family - and their bond for each other.  He was an impact player.” 
     
    La Rocca noted that Stan’s acumen and passion for business was only surpassed by his love for his family, music and his faith. He adored his wife Sheila, two children and six grandchildren. He enjoyed playing clarinet, sax and was a founding member of the Glen Rock Pops Orchestra.
     
    “The printing ink industry in North America lost a gentle giant,” La Rocca concluded.
     
    Memorial donations in Stan’s memory can be made to the Wounded Warriors Project, wwwwoundedwarriorsproject.org or Glen Rock Jewish Center, Glen Rock N.J. www.grjc.org/payment.php
