Not sure what to say?

Morton class of 84. Pretty sure I took a business or marketing class from him every year. Very engaging teacher well remembered.

This one really hurts. Mr. Stamper was one of my favorite teachers. I had him for Consumer ED. Mr. Stamper made it a fun class. I remember we had an assignment where he put us up with another student to see how married life was. I told Mr. Stamper before graduation "at least I was married for 5 days." I was made fun of a lot so I was trying to be funny but looked at me and said " Don't you worry you will find that special person and you'll be happy so don't worry." I always remember that....

Condolences still. I cannot believe it has been one year already. Mr. Stamper walked into our first class of Business with such a furious look on his face, telling everyone alright now sit down and be quiet. He then paused and stared at each of us one which took a full minute. He took another long pause then went into a Bugs Bunny sounding voice. He never commanded authority he simply earned that respect from day one. For anyone who had him teach as the first class of your day: what a...

I just want to express my deepest condolences for the loss of Mr. Stamper. He was my teacher at Morton west and coached me in soccer from 1996 - 1999. He helped the girl's soccer team get off the ground after it's initial club period, from getting us old boys uniforms to wear, to finding us teams to play against and fields to play at. When I think back (now that I'm an adult), he and the other coaches really gave so much for us girls and I am very appreciative of that. I was in a car accident...

Bill was my soccer coach at Morton East in 72 and 73. He didn't know alot about the game back then but he had a great bunch of kids that enjoyed playing for him and we never lost a game during the 72 season. My deepest condolences go out to the Stamper family.

My heart goes out to you Pat! You are in my thoughts and prayers! Love you and know I´m here !

I was on Bill's 1980 Morton West soccer team. He was an amazing coach. I was most-improved athlete of the year. I remember him giving me the award, especially since I was so surprised. The eerie part about this is that I haven't thought about Bill for many years, I was reminiscing with my wife and spoke about Bill and his impact on my life. And then I googled him and found out his memorial service was TODAY!! A great man for his impact on so many youth, including me. Condolences to all who...

Sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Stamper. Business Law/ Marketing teacher at Morton West High School. Great teacher and fun class! 30 years later, we still talk about those classes. Thanks " Stamps"!!

Bill will be sorely missed by his friends in PebbleCreek. Kevin, Jim and myself will have many memories of Bill as we all played golf, pickleball, softball, and golf together. The best times were when we met as a small group, usually in my garage to discuss and solve all the problems in the world today. I can´t recall one time in our get togethers that Bill didn´t bring up his beloved Cubs. Bill was a encyclopedia of trivia when it came to the Cubs. Good friend, you will be deeply missed!
