RIP Dick. I played for you as did my older brother. We talk about you on a regular basis. You put together insults like few others could. I am currently in my 34th year of coaching and a good part of who I am is due to you and Swede Carlson. Thanks for the memories.

I had Mr Stultz for English in 1977 at LSHS. It takes a special person to be a teacher and still love their job. I wasn't the best student, but I remember him to this day. I had a tendency to chat too much in class. He tried his best to break me of that disruptive habit. (Smiling!) He touched my life and I wanted to tell the Stultz family I am so sorry for your loss.

I would like to extend my condolences to the Stultz family.
Mr. Stultz lived a couple blocks from me and was my college prep (Senior English) teacher at Lake Stevens High School during the 1966-67 school year. He was well-respected by the students for both his teaching and his coaching.
He had tremendous drive and demanded the same from his players. A success in the classroom and on the playing field, Mr. Stultz will be remembered always.

I was a 76 grad at Lake Stevens. I never had Mr Stultz as a teacher. I did talk to him sometimes and he was a very nice man.
