Dear Stoddart family members, Dr. Stoddart was both a considered friend, colleague, and mentor to countless individuals in the Education Profession. I feel fortunate to have been one of those individuals. Dr. Stoddart was the Elementary School Principal of South Davis Elementary when I student taught for him in the spring of 1978! He was simple one of the giants in our Profession and recall fondly his quite friendly manner of providing sage advice to not only a new teacher, but even a fellow Superintendent. One of the best! Thank you Dr. Stoddart, Whitney

Chuck was the kindest and gentlest man I´ve ever known. He amazed me as my Boy Scout leader when he silenced everyone by speaking even quieter. He was my hero, my mentor and mostly my friend. The world will miss him.
