Frank P. "Gunner" Stauch

Pam and family. One of our old USS Horne shipmates sent this to me today. So sorry for the loss of a great guy and friend. Holly and I often talk about the send off party you gave us when we transferred to Norfolk in 1982. Pray that you have all been comforted and are cheered by the memories of Frank who always had a smile or encouraging word for his shipmates. Rob Pendt USS Horne (CG30) '80-'82.

Stauch Family,
Sheila and I are so sorry for your loss.
To say I was devastated when I learned Gunner was sick is a profound understatement. My wife's eyes were teary when she handed me the note, because she know how much I admire Frank. He was one of the finest gentlemen I've ever know - tremendous mentor, dedicated American and amazing friend. Honorable, honest, caring, perseverant, intelligent...
He was a once in a lifetime friend and I will miss him tremendously.

I just heard of Frank's passing . . . please accept Rhonda & my deepest condolences. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Frank and know he is missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Sorry to hear about Frank. Super Guy!! I worked with him in SN and he was gracious enough to invite me out to play golf with him at Canebrake. I enjoyed his company and with miss his great smile. Again, I am sorry for your loss.

Pam, Toby and Janoe,
Frank will be missed and I'll cherish the time that I was so fortunate to work with him at the Agency. So many good memories traveling the globe with him and the sage counsel that only Gunner could give!
Blessings and prayers for you all,
Jack

Janoe and Toby, so sorry for your loss of a very special man. Toby, Our condolences to the oh so such early passing of your father. May your memories of good times with your father bring you comfort during the difficult days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear of Frank's passing. I served with Frank on the USS Horne and will forever be greatfull to him and Pam for taking my newly married wife Karen who was new to the Navy life, under their wing during our deployments and down time. RIP Frank! So sorry for your loss Pam and family.

Sincerely,
Tim & Karen Brado

I'm so saddened to hear of Franks passing. I worked with him at MDA and just adored him! Always a smile and a joke. As a cancer sufferer myself I understand the heartache this disease brings. I pray for your family. Frank was just the best!
