DANIEL JOSEPH STECHSCHULTE Sr.

Dr. Stechschulte was a great teacher. He always exuded a tremendous sense of calm on rounds. He had the ability to provoke a good medical discussion with just a few words. I enjoyed my rotation in Rheumatology because of him.

Dan exemplified the best qualities of both an effective clinician and teacher. He encouraged colleagues to be their best. I never attended a meeting he presided over without coming away owning new ideas and with greater enthusiasm for our specialty.

Dan was a valued colleague

I rode the school bus with Dan, played basketball with him and his brother Paul who were a formidable force on the court. I remember those days and would always catch him when he visited Kalida. My sympathy on your loss. Gene Wurth

My deepest sympathies to the Stechschulte family. Dr. Stechschulte was a brilliant and genuine man.
