Dear Wendy and family - my heart is breaking over your loss. As I read the obituary, many beautiful memories of our time together in Rochester NY filled my heart and mind. I thank God for our time in Rochester where we met many wonderful people. Joe was a beautiful man of God, with a big heart and love for God and his family. I know he will be greatly missed. My heart, thoughts and prayers will be with all of you. I am thankful that someday we will all see each other again and there will be no more pain, no more sorrow... God bless you all.

Dearest Stutz Family--God Bless you abundantly in the name of our returning Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My heart goes out to you for the loss of Rev. Stutz. I had the privilege and honor to hear him teach while in Florida and I remember how very loving he was as he shared God's wonderful Word. This is a great loss to our Heavenly Father also but He will not forget him or leave him here because the day is coming when our Loving Father will send His son Jesus Christ to call Joe and my son Ryan Simi and all other saints who are sleeping in Victory, he will call them by their name to get up, to rise up and meet him in the air, then so shall he and we forever will be with the Lord. What a great comfort. Lovingly in Christ--Karen L. Patterson. Annandale, Virginia

Wendy & Family,
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. We are so very blessed that we had the privilege and opportunity to spend time with Rev. Stutz and each of you. We loved the time you spent as the Limb Coordinators for state of New Mexico and have so many fond memories of those times. We had so much fun moving the Word and running classes and we learned so much from you and Reverend Stutz. We also enjoyed his wonderful sense of humor. We were truly blessed by his stand and his walk; Steve & I love you both and are very sorry for your loss.

To Joe's family,
I am one of the many McSweeney cousins. The last time I saw Joe was about 20 years ago at one of our family gatherings at Churchville Park. As kids we spent a great deal of time together since our mothers were very close. Each occasion meant a family gathering at someone's house. At Joe's house on Magnolia St., we had lots of fun playing from the front staircase to the back staircase which came out in the kitchen. At the family picnics, we helped each other out while playing "Red Rover" and "Bear" in the trees with our Uncle Billy. We were blessed to all grow up in Rochester and be a part of this large extended family. I wish I could have heard Joe preach. I am touched by the words that others have said about his ministry. To all the family, I am sorry for your loss. You are in my prayers. Joe, rest in peace and watch over the rest of us. God's blessings.
love,
Sue Winterkorn Cringoli

Dear Wendy and family,
I will be forever thankful for all that you and Joe did for my mom when my dad got sick. Then when I couldn't be there for his memorial service, I knew that everything would be well with Joe presiding and you there. I know my mom was super blessed. That is just two examples of the many wonderful things that Joe did for me and my mom, Lola. Thank you for your service for God and to His people. My prayers are with you all. I sure love you.

So thankful to God for the life of Rev. Joe Stutz that had been lovingly and awesomely shared with God's children. I learned and benefited from Rev. Joe in so many ways: I listened to his teachings, I read his articles, he ministered to me several times, we broke bread together ... his voice is healing and so comforting. Rev. Joe, Wendy and family, thank you so very much for blessing my life.

I have been so blessed to have known this incredible man of God and to have been to the home of his family on several occassions when they lived in California.

I only got to hear Joseph teach a few times when we were both in Ohio. But each time he delivered for God something I needed to hear.
He and Windy were great examples of the young people who rose up to lead our ministry. And I will put Windy and the family on my special pray list for they will feel the loss of this great man the most. Praise God for our Hope and that we will see him once again. Much Love in Christ, richard reis in KY

I have been honored to sit through live teachings from Reverend Stutz. He was an amazing teacher and a tender hearted leader.

I remember thanking him after a session of one of the classes he taught live in California. I said, "Rev. Stutz, thank you for teaching that session on renewing the mind. I know I have to work on renewing my mind at times."

Rev Stutz smiled and replied "I do too."

My love and prayers go to the Stuz family.

I never got to really know him. That's why it was so great to read Gail Burge's post. I always thought Joe was so handsome and so cool...now I know had everything going for him!!!
I am praying for him and his beautiful family.
Please accept my deepest condolences.
Rest in peace, Joe!!!
Much love,

Wendy and family,
It is such sad news about my cousin, Joe. He and I were of similar ages, and I can remember way back in our childhood when we had our annual family reunions or weddings or get togethers, Joe was always the life of the party for all us younger ones. He had a smile that could light up a room, and a personality to go with it. While I haven't seen him in oh so so so many years, my thoughts of him always bring a smile. May he rest in peace in the loving arms of his Mom, Dad, and our heavenly Lord.
