DONALD STAHELI

For over 20 years Elder Staheli advised the LDS Church on its farming operations. He generously shared his broad experience in international agriculture with those working with the church's farms and ranches much to their benefit. We will miss his fellowship and wisdom.

Dear Sister Staheli,
My husband, Phillip Mason, and I were fortunate enough to work with you at the Draper Temple on the Wednesday mid-day shift. My husband passed away on May 22 so I can relate to your loss. Please know of my love and admiration for you and your dear husband. I send my condolences.

Dear Staheli Family

I was saddened to hear of the passing of Brother Staheli. I first met him in 1981 when I was a newly hired trainee for Continental Grain Company. I was a new graduate of Purdue, and BYU and member of the church. Brother Staheli was instrumental in getting me hired at Continetal, for which I was very grateful. I worked for Continental Grain for the next 17 years and left about the same time that Brother Staheli retired. I really enjoyed my association with him. ...

Dear Sister Staheli and family,
Sister Mautz and I are grateful to be able to send our love at such a tender time. We are far away on the other side of the world on a mission for the Church.
Memories from the Illinois years in Champaign, again when we we were with you in the Naperville Stake and finally in the East coast years when we would see you in the Washington D. C. Temple remind us of your kindess to our family. We regret not being there at this time as you were for the...

Dear Sister Staheli,
It was such a joy to meet you and your husband for the first time at the wedding of our son Craig to your sweet niece Lorianne. The wedding that President Staheli performed for them in the Salt Lake Temple was beautiful. We will never forget it. You and your husband are such a beautiful couple. We send our love and condolences and want you to know that you are in our prayers. Love, Stephen and Georgia Richey

Dear Stahlei Family, I was shocked and saddened to hear of Don's passing. I recently visited with him at the Draper Temple. We were members of the winning Livestock Judging Team at Utah State University in 1953. I pray for the comfort and strength that comes with a knowledge of the plan of salvation for your family. Dr Boyd Stock, Lehi, UT.

He was a great man, an influence that will not be forgotten. I served in Nauvoo and know his love for the city beautiful. He was loved by every missionary there.
Farewell Don, may you continue to serve your God and maker in the life here after.

For many of us who have had a long association with Don through our work at Continental Grain, this sad news revives numerous memories and experiences of working with him. Mine go back 32 years when I first joined the Company when Don was on the Management Committee and principally responsible for all the operations associated with the Allied Mills organization. And that association continued through his devoted efforts to Continental and his increasing responsibilities culminating in his...
