Stuart Stultz Obituary

Stultz, Stuart G. Passed away peacefully at his home surrounded by family on March 27, 2011, at age 72. Stuart fought proudly as he battled ALS for over 3 years. He was born in Minnesota on May 18, 1938. His dedication to his family and country throughout his life was obvious, revealed by the commitment, love and energy he put into them both. Stuart proudly served his country for 41 years as a Colonel (Ret.) in the Wisconsin National Guard. Stuart worked at K-Promotions / Carlson Company for many years. He also held the position of State Insurance Administrator, working for the Wisconsin National Guard Association, Inc., proudly for 12 years. He is survived by his wife, Mary (nee Tisler) and children, Susan (Steven) Schneider, Timothy (Angela) and Kevin (Nicole). He was a wonderful grandpa, and is greatly loved and respected by his grandchildren Ryan, Dominic, Chelsea, Chloe, Cora and Evin. He is also survived by his sister, Jackie Kurvers and brothers, Richard and Thomas Stultz. We would also like to thank the many amazing friends, neighbors and family, including the ALS Association and Hartland Hospice, who wonderfully supported Stuart and his family throughout the illness. We will miss you Stuart / Dad / Grandpa. Thank you for leaving us with so many happy memories. You set up base camp in Heaven, Col. We'll all be along soon enough. A Celebration of Stuart's Life Memorial at the Funeral Home on Tuesday, March 29, from 4-6:45 PM, with a Prayer Service at 7 PM. Visitation also at, ST.

Our deepest condolences to Mary and the Stultz family. I was privileged to serve as ExOfficer to Stu while he was CO of the 32d BDE Hq Co and saw first hand his compassion and his ever present concern for the welfare of the men and women under his command. This same concern was evident and directed to the entire Wis National guard in his role as the Insurance Administrator. Not only has the Stultz family lost a husband, father and grandfather but we have lost a dear friend. May his soul rest in peace, now and forever.

Stu administered the Oath of Enlistment to me in 1969. He became a mentor, a role model, and eventually a good friend during my service as an officer with him in the WI Army National Guard. He was a man of energy, integrity, and deep love for country and the soldiers who served her. He always had soldiers' best interests in mind. It was a pleasure, privilege, and honor to serve with him. May God enfold you all in his love and care as you grieve this good man.
