Buddy Stahl, 86, beloved husband of Sandy nee Schwartz for 64 wonderful years; loving father of Lisa (Hugh) Reitman and Mark Stahl; cherished grandpa of Becca Shultz (Kevin Gordy, fiancé), Jake Shultz, Naomi Stahl and Vivian Stahl; devoted son of the late Myra and David Stahl; dear bother of the late Harry Lee (the late Adrienne) Stahl; adored brother-in-law of Lynn (the late Robert) Bernard and the late Barry Schwartz (the late Tina Rotter); treasured uncle, cousin and friend of many.

For Buddy, family was everything. He took the time and special effort to create such strong bonds with each and every one of his family members but his grandchildren were his pride and joy. He was a magnificent Father, Husband, Uncle, Friend, and Grandpa. We were all so lucky to have had him. He was also quite the jokester, brightening rooms on the daily with his playful banter. He was a proud member of the Pi Tau Pi Fraternity for 40+ years that he made so many friendships from. Buddy loved listening to Elton John, Queen, Pink Floyd and all rock n roll music, attending many concerts with his family. He loved to travel with his wife Sandy, over the years they visited many national parks such as Yellow Stone, Banff, Mt Rushmore, and even the Costa Rican Rainforest. He also had a close connection with man’s best friend while walking his various dogs, he had a leash in one hand and a cigar in the other. He was proud of his family, faith and served his country. He was no BS but he was Buddy Stahl.
