Paul Stauffer Obituary

Paul William Stauffer, 87, of Rehoboth Beach Delaware (formerly of Emmaus, PA) passed away peacefully with his family by his side on June 7th.

Paul was a 1952 Emmaus High graduate, and has been married to his high school sweetheart, Nancy M. (Reifinger) Stauffer for 66 years. Paul served his country for 6 years in the Army National Guard and retired from Sears of Whitehall PA after a 42 year career.

Once retired, Paul, with his wife Nancy, relocated to Rehoboth Beach, DE. He enjoyed fishing, reading, working in the yard, and playing cards. Paul's greatest love was for our Lord, was a very active member of his church and was loved by all that knew him. Paul was a true gentleman, and always had a kind word to everyone he met. He was a devoted family man whose love for his wife, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren was immeasurable. His greatest joy was spending time with his family, always providing encouraging and kind words, and never passing up an opportunity to share his love with them.

Paul is survived by his loving wife Nancy, sons John P. Stauffer of Orefield PA., Daniel J. Stauffer (Jill) of Aynor SC, Matthew P. Stauffer (Sherri) of Emmaus PA, 9 grandchildren, 10 great grandchildren, brothers Lester Stauffer (Rita), Leroy Stauffer (Marge), and sister Janet (Stauffer) Snyder (Richard). Paul was predeceased by his parents, Homer and Evelyn Stauffer.
