George James Stoll Jr.

Dear Stoll family,
I am sorry for your loss. George's passing must leave a huge hole in your lives. As a family, with George at the helm, you gave many of us great adventures. Thank you.

George Stoll had a tremendous influence on the lives of many. To me he was a breath of fresh ideas as I had just escaped the indoctrination of Canadian socialism. George was remarkable in his ability to make vivid factual points, which will long be remembered. Thank you George & Betty too.

Though I was only 10 years old at the time, I want to thank you for the honor of knowing you and attending The Flint School. I have fond memories of traveling the Mediterranean, looking up and seeing the millions of stars on a sail from Majolica to Malta. Scrubbing the decks, learning how to make a Spanish Mast head and the incredible number of places you and Jim showed us all.
I guess you are now assigned to the “New Beginnings” cabin now. Have a great adventure.
Thank you so much

George, had a greater influence than he could have imagined. Once in a while I find myself quoting him. I still review my Data Cards every so often.

Thank you Captain.

George, old buddy – if you can read this, and I certainly wouldn’t put it past you, we’re going to miss you. You were a tremendous positive influence in a lot of young lives, mine included. I’ve heard that in recent years you felt like you may have failed in your quest. Nothing could be farther from the truth. The only standard by which the Flint School could be considered a failure would be perfection. No, it wasn’t perfect, and neither were you. But you were better than most of us,...

I knew George from 1967-1975. He was a provactive teacher and thinker and well ahaed of his time in many ways. He and his son Jim have been a profound influence on my life.
