Dear Mrs. Stultz and family, I read of Mr. Stultz passing, he was a true American, I remember him with his pipe and the bull horns on his Jeep. He was always great to my Mom in the oil heating winter. Mel and I shared some great times as kids in school. All my best to you and your family, but thank God for people like the Stultz's.
God Bless you,

Dear Mrs. Stultz, Mel, Joan, Judy and family we were so sorry to here about the passing of Babe. He was such a special person and will be missed by everyone who knew him or knew of him. Babe always had a smile and kind word for everyone. Bill was just telling me that he shot his first deer while hunting with Babe. He really loved him. I know growing up he was part of your household most of the time. We were so glad that we got to visit with you on our visit to New Jersey 5 years ago.
God Bless you and love to all.

To the Stultz family,
Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Babe was one of a kind. To be a volunteer fireman is rewarding but to do it for 67 years is an outstanding achievement !!!! He will be greatly missed at the firehouse,but not forgotten.
