Dr. Stanley T. Urban, 81, a retired internist and former track star who once ran against Jesse Owens, died Thursday (Dec. 11, 1997) in his Buffalo home after a lengthy illness.
A native of Buffalo who grew up in the city's East Side, he was a graduate of East High School, where he made his mark as a sprinter.
Later, while attending the University of Buffalo, he became a member of the AAU track team and had the opportunity to run against Owens, the famed gold medalist and star of the 1936 U.S. Olympic team.
The race took place at a meet at Crystal Beach, Ont. Although he would later say he couldn't remember who won, it was a moment he treasured for the rest of his life along with his numerous medals.
Urban graduated from UB Medical School in 1940 and began a career as a specialist in internal medicine. He was a member of the medical staff of Millard Fillmore Hospital for more than 50 years.
He also maintained a private practice in his residence.

During World War II, he was a division surgeon in combat areas in France and Germany. He was a lieutenant colonel in the Army Medical Corps when he was discharged in December 1945.
He served in the National Guard for years following the war.

Urban also was proud of his brother, Lt. Col. Matt Urban, one of the country's most decorated war heroes and recipient of the Medal of Honor, for his actions in World War II. His brother died in 1995.
