RIP to the guy who taught me how to drive. Driving was essential in my career as an entertainer, and even more important as a tour guide and FedEx driver. He taught me well. I still hear his voice each time I parallel park! He was strict but fair. And a good teacher...very professional. Danke schoen, Herr Stahl, for the lessons. Auf Wiedersehen!

I loved Mr. Stahl. Not only was he an excellent driving instructor but he had such a great, dry sense of humor. Never a dull moment in his class. Rest in Peace Mr. Stahl.

Mr. Stahl taught me to drive at Casa Grande. He was one of my favorite teachers. My prayers go out to his family for their loss.Je

My condolences to the Stahl family. Stahl was my driving instructor as well. I remember him picking me up at the house in Ford. I went to get in the back and he said no your driving.

I also had mr stahl for drivers ed. I remember diving to the donut shop and you thought the first time oh wow he's going to buy me a donut. But then he would come out and say o no these are for my house. He was an ecpxcellent driving instructor. Deepest regrets.

Mr. Stahl, you were a blessing to your students. I consider myself fortunate to have had you as my instructor. You DID make a difference.
