Death
Stonorov died with Walter P. Reuther, president of the United Automobile Workers, when Reuther's Lear Jet crashed on approach to Emmet County Airport (now Pellston Airport). Reuther and Stonorov were to perform the final inspection of a union recreation/education facility Stonorov had designed at Black Lake, 25 miles from Pellston, Michigan. The center was to open three weeks from the crash.
With his wife, Elizabeth Foster "Miss Betty" Stonorov (March 5, 1906 - December 8, 2003), Stonorov had daughters Katrina Daly, Tasha Stonorov Churchill and Andrea Stonorov Foster as well as a son Derek Stonorov and nine grandchildren. They lived at Avon Lea Farm in Charlestown Township, outside Philadelphia.

“Young lover to old lover: I do not feel death in your embrace, but the adoration of the patriarchs.”

“At noon, you walk across a river. It is dry, with not this much water: it is just stones and pebbles. But it rains cats and dogs in the mountains, and towards afternoon, the water descends wildly and she ravages all in its path, the madwoman. That is how death comes. Without our expecting it, and we cannot do a thing against it, brothers.”
—Jacques Roumain (1907–1945)
