Anthony STAUB

In 1976 I worked at a company called Wertronix next door to Dayton Scale Model at the end of Culver Ave in Kettering. I had just graduated from high school in 1975. I got to know Tony because I would occasionally go to his shop to buy pop out of his pop machine. When Wertronix moved out of state Tony hired me to help work on a fiberglass job he had gotten for NASA making a very large acoustical horn for measuring sound waves. So, I spent 6 months doing that. Never itched so much in my life! ...

Tony and I shared woodworking. We worked on some small projects together. He often helped me out when I got lost making furniture. I´ll always remember his smile and sharing a glass of wine together. Karen his second wife was a close friend with my wife as they shared their love of dogs. They walked them together as we lived almost next door since they moved to Lyons Drive. Goodbye my friend, I will miss you.

My husband, Ron, and Tony joined the Army together. A few years later, Ron and I married. Tony created wooden flower boxes to fit over the end of each pew. Joan filled them with flowers. Almost two years later, we welcomed our precious daughter into the world. When we brought her home, Tony and Joan had come in and put beautiful finishes on her crib. Tony created a scalloped canopy to go over the top of the crib and Joan had sewn a delicate lace covering for it. It truly looked like a crib...

Bill Evans and I worked with Tony in encouraging his dream of a St.Vincent de Paul Hotel. We were so excited to see the first hotel of it's kind open. Tony loved his work with St.Vincent. I will always remember him for his determination on the hotel and the Job Center. I will be donating to Miami Valley Meals in his name. Thanks be to God for saints like Tony.

RIP Tony.

Dear Family We share in your grief at this time, but also in the joy of having known Tony. He was true inspiration to all. He will always be known for his devotion to God, the Blessed Virgin and his family. His works of Charity will live forever in the hearts and minds of all the poor, disabled and unfortunate whom he nourished and helped. Tony's bags were packed full of charity and love and he was ready to go Home. We love you Tony, don't forget us.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I had the opportunity to work with Tony from 1983 until he sold out to Norm in 1999 so I heard all the good stories. Wow what a pair. Norm was the businessman and Tony as the dreamer. Together they built a company that built Lunar Lander models for NASA in 1969 that are still on display, they helped GEAE develop their engine projects including the new GEnx, and supported the US military with composite aircraft components for the F-16 and F-18. Tony called Norman Rockwell to help some...

I was 4 when Tony married my Aunt Joan. He was the BEST uncle...so much fun and so generous! He loved his wives, his kids and the community of mentally challenged and the poor. Tony definitely left the world a better place and this niece will miss him terribly!
