Arthur "Jeep" Edward Stapleton, Jr.

My deepest sympathy for you Barbara.

Jeep was always such a kind person. I will never forget eating catfish at that gathering so long ago! Happy times, RIP Jeep and I am sorry I couldn't make it to your service. My condolences to Barbara and family.

I dont remember ever seeing Jeep without a smile, be it in the shop at studio, at the Pig-Pickins at their house off Sawmill Rd., fishin, tying flies , paddling, drummin'...and singing along with his Idol, Mel Torme, "The Velvet Fog" on TV...I came across this photo of his birthday and Mel came on TV...we told him we planned it... you are Loved & Missed by many.

Jeep was a very special man who touched so many people with his laughter and caring. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbata and all the family and friends. Jeep, we will miss you. Bob and Kim Wozniak

When I think of Uncle Jeep, so many memories come back. In West Virgina, or Milton PA, or Wilmington.. One was hanging out with him in his wood-shop when he helped me make an easel for my high school girlfriend. I collected all the wood from hurricane fallen trees, then brought it out too his workshop barn. He had all the tools anyone could dream of. when we got started he let me make a few cuts, but in reality he did most of it by himself! It was amazing, just like everything he made and she...

He was my friend my mentor and my buddy I will miss you rest in pea cr

So sorry for your loss, Barbara. Although I didn't have the opportunity to meet Jeep very often, I remember him as a great guy with a ready smile, and that you two were very close. I also remember him telling me enthusiastically about his love of fly fishing, and fly tying. He will be sorely missed.
Take care,
John & Mary

The sun, the moon, the wind, the stars, will forever be around, reminding you of the love you shared, and the peace hes finally found.

Will miss ya thanks for my first job
