John C. Stofa

John was truly a mentor and one of the best bosses ever. When I interviewed with him at Medical Mutual, I was leaving the interview, walking to my car, and thinking to myself, “If he wasn’t to hire me he’ll come out here and tell me”. No sooner had I thought that and he came running out the door yelling, “Wait! I want to hire you!” I loved our sales meetings when he would explain strategy and the whiteboard always looked like football plays. He was truly one of a kind and I’m very sad...

I am a retired CPA and was encouraged by John to major in accounting back in 1973. He spoke to some of us on campus at San Diego State University in summer 1973. From what he said, I chose to major in accounting, with no regrets. I am 98% sure it was you, John.
Thank you so very much. Karl.

John and I we’re always golf partners at Jefferson CC. We had the 1st tee time every Saturday and Sunday! We regularly beat our opponents. He and Katie were very dear friends! I will alway remember to fun times we had together.

Katie,
Freddie and I are so sorry for your loss. You and John were always such a wonderful couple!
Blessings and Prayers,
Fred and Barbara Dierking

So sorry to hear. What a guy!! Many memories of our time in Daytona Beach., and so enjoyed our last visit in Texas.., our thoughts and prayers with Katie and family.,,

I was so saddened to learn today of John's passing. In my mind's eye, I can still see John walking down the street on his way to the golf course. It was always a happy walk and brought a smile to my face. My heart goes out to Katie, the family, and John's many friends. He was a super guy and I know how much he will be missed. May his memory be a blessing to all of you. Marilyn Potts, neighbor in Blacklick, Ohio

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Stofa's passing. I was friends with his daughter, Tracey, when I lived in Cincinnati. My sincere condolences to his entire family.

Remembering John. I worked along side him at Blue Cross.
