John Erwin Stamler

Ralph, I should have known you had an exceptional Father! I always enjoyed knowing you, and did think of you whenever I was golfing and saw the memorial for your Mother. Wishing you fond memories of your Dad, of which I am certain you have many! Virginia Pickerell

Dear Ralph, I was sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Mindi & I lived in the apartment next to him for 4 years over on Presidential and knew your father as a kind hearted soul who loved to talk about golf. He always provided me extra golf balls in old egg cartons. We loved having him as one of the best neighbors. His smile, jokes or even the way he delivered newspapers to each of the residents on Sunday morning still makes me smile to this day. Even after we moved into our house we would see him around town in his little car or stop by for a quick handshake & hug with him & Donna. The last time we saw John was when he was moved into memory care, and although he no longer recognized us he was still the kind person we always knew. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers and look forward to the time when John 5:28, 29 is fulfilled. What a special guy! We were privileged to get to know him and like a beautifully sunset on a summer evening we will always remember him. Sincerely, Brian & Mindi Hoffman
