Jack Stegall

I miss you Grandaddy. You and Oma´s love story is one that has lasted beyond a lifetime and I know you two are together again. So thankful for the lifetime of memories that you two have left me with and that you got to meet and know John. Love and miss you always.

I met Jack (and Ilsa) in the mid-2000's after they moved in down the street here in Willoughby Woods. Despite our 30-odd year difference, we eventually became good friends. I'll always remember our visits and our shared love of history and seafood in particular! In recent years, my wife Shannon and I would often surprise Jack with our culinary efforts. He loved the pineapple and cherry (esp. pineapple) cheese pies Shannon would make for him. And he was equally enamoured with my homemade soups... especially my chicken minestrone. We're saddened by Jack's passing but equally comforted by the fact that he's no longer in pain and in a better place. He will be sorely missed...

William, reading about your father and his accomplishments in life certainly defines his life as being a special man, husband, and father. Very sorry for your loss but he lived a full life and many of his attributes live thru you for all to see.

Rest on Peace Mr. Stegall

I first met Mr. Stegall while visiting Charles one afternoon after high-school. Charles and I have been friends for well close to 53 years.

Mr. Stegall was always a kind understanding sort, but always ready to correct rambunctious teenagers! Charles and I along with brothers Frank and Will seem to always be on the verge of causing havoc on those days.

My sister best knew Mr. Stegall and always told me he was a kind gentle man. Always polite and caring.

My wife Linda and I were members of Morning Star Lutheran and attended church with Mr. Stegall and his wife while we were raising our children.

Unfirtunately, once we moved away and began attending another Lutheran church, we lost touch.

I believe that Jack and Ilse are together again in eternal love. Someday I expect I'll see them again.
