RICHARD STAPNOWSKI

When his wonderful caring wife, Melvina was diagnosed with cancer, I made it an almost daily visit to be with the two of them (He seldom left her side) As her time bebecame short, Dick...

I was not aware that Dick had passed. He was a good friend, at times a golf partner, (he also would coach me on my hope to improve my golf, never happened. When his wife, Malvina was actively passing , they asked me to do her funeral service, which was an honor, they asked me to visit her as often as I could and Malvina's I paid a visit to them frequently during her struggle with Cancer and again it was an honor.

Dear Mr. Stapnowski was a great teacher and very sweet man.

Best counselor I ever had, rough, but fair

Stap was the best person to have around you. He took so many yo-yos from me I hope he enjoyed them. He was the best person to be around for a laugh, fun and knowledge. My heart goes out to the family. May the good Lord bless you.

I was thinking about Stap and tried looking him up and ran across this sad news. I worked with Stap at Woodworth when I first started teaching back in 93. My first encounter before I knew who he was was observing him "correcting" a student in the cafeteria in the way only he could. I remember telling my wife about it when I got home. It wasn't long after I started I became part of his tight group at lunch and on Fridays when we'd go out after work to Bamboozles. I learned as much as he...

We will keep you in our thoughts and memories until we see each other again my friend. Love you and know you are happy to be reunited with Mal.
