In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his wife, Mary Elizabeth Stauble, three infant children: David, Dennis, and Dean, his sister Serena Summers, and his grandson, Cory Stauble.
After graduating from St. Xavier High School in 1941, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and defended our country in World War II on Guam, Guadalcanal, and Iwo Jima. He served in the third division of the 9th regiment, first battalion of the Marine Corps. After his honorable discharge as a Staff Sergeant, he met the love of his life, and "Ed and Mary" raised their family in the Hikes Point area. He was a true outdoorsman, and routinely engaged in the fine arts of fishing, camping, and growing a world class garden. The "Tomato King" kept his friends and family well stocked with tomatoes year after year.
He attended the Bowling Green Business University and the University of Louisville. He became a C.P.A. and worked for the United States Treasury Department until his retirement in 1979. He then took up skiing and ballroom dancing, and stayed active with family and friends until his death.
He is survived by his children: Dr. Elaine Stauble (Dr. Bruce
Tasch), Robert Stauble (Karla), Gary Stauble (Shirley), and Carol Kamenish (Mark); his brother Donald Stauble; and three sisters: Marcella Barney, Doris Trimble (John), and Sr. Sarah Stauble.
