Our family has always enjoyed having the Stengel family for neighbors on Shore Drive. Your parents will be missed, but certainly not forgotten by us. Their absense in the neighborhood will be felt for a very long time to come. Thank-you for being our kind neighbors here in the Dunes.

Silvia & family,
My mother and I are so sorry for the loss of your father. I only met you and your father a couple of times, but my father, James (Jim) Vaughan, had the pleasure of working for your father at the lab for 20+ years until he retired.

I have loved both your parents and will dearly miss them as my neighbors. Your mother was such a sweet lady. However, I always enjoyed Heinz whether seeing him in his garden, working on the small pond on the north side, sitting on the patio or cooking on a summer Sunday afternoon. He has certainly been a friend, a wonderful neighbor and a person who I admired.

To the Stengel Family,

My first job after high school was working for your Dad. At the time his lab was in the basement of your Miller home then he moved it to a his building on Melton Road. Your Dad made my first taste of employment an enjoyable one.

He was a kind and thoughtful man and a wonderful boss. He will be missed.
