We are so sorry for your loss. Mr. Stemple was an incredible friend and wonderful neighbor to our family. When he needed to be stern and serious..... you didn´t question him! When he was in a relaxed setting he was always fun and would have us laughing.
May he rest in peace and join his beautiful bride. Sending prayers and love.
