Dear Cindy,

Your Dad was like a second father to me and I will always remember the fishing, the wine and the FAMOUS WORDS that he would use!
I know what you are going through, we have both lost someone we loved dearly, but remember that they are in heaven together having a glass of wine. I know that he is fishing with his cigar and that he will not be suffering anymore.

I will always remember the fishing trips and him laughing at me learning how to drive the Volkswagon.

Mama Jean, call me if you need anything or if you just want to talk. I am always here for you. I love you.

We Love you,
Sandy and family

Dear Jean,
We were so sorry to hear of Bill's passing. It was quite a shock. Even though we've not seen each other in years,we've always considered both of you as good friends, and share some of your sorrow, but also share some good memories of some good times.
With much love,
Jess & Mary Beardsley (Sun City West, AZ)

To Jean and family - I used to work for Wilmer at SCM in Jacksonville and I am sad to hear of his passing. My deepest sympathy to all. Wilmer was a brilliant Chemical Engineer, a forward thinking executive, and I admired his quick grasp of so many details - I always felt he was a mentor to me and I am personally sad that I lost touch with Wilmer. My deepest sympathy and best wishes to you. God Bless, Ken Handley

To Jean and family, it was with great sadness when I learned of Wilmers passing, I certainly had some wonderful times with him, both in the water and in the "Y" I talked with Chuck Chambliss last week about trying to reach him, sorry I was late, I will always remember him as a great man..

My Memories of Mr. Stoufer are that he was a early riser - very early, the Y, handball, fishing, and yes more fishing. To Mrs. Stoufer, Brent, Cindy, and Stephanie my thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Your long time Friend,

Stormy Hunter (Robert)

I want to express my deepest condolences for the entire family. I did not know Mr. Stoufer, but I knew all about him through his daughter, Cindy Hewett. Cindy sent me a picture when Mr. Stoufer first took ill and for some reason, I kept on my telephone being that is was my friend's father. He is no longer suffering and he is in a far better residence now.
