Fred Stahl

November 1, 1936 - November 16, 2018

Fred Stahl, age 82, originally of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on Friday, November 16, 2018, surrounded by his children, grandchildren, and extended family members who were closest to him. After 33 years of marriage, Fred was left a widower when his wife, Virginia Stahl (nee Weller), unexpectedly passed away last year. Upon marrying Virginia, Fred became an instant father to Virginia McKenna (Andrew), and shortly thereafter, he excitedly welcomed the births of Daniel Stahl (April), Joseph Stahl, and Regina Stahl. Fred was also an active and loving grandfather to Stephanie, Samantha, Victoria, and Natalie. Fred is also survived by his four children from his first marriage, Sherry Troppello (Joseph), Jennifer Kukulich, Leonard Stahl, and Frederick Stahl, as well as their children. Fred was a dedicated, hard-working man who provided for all of his children by working in a variety of industries throughout his lifetime. He spent the majority of his life as a business owner and entrepreneur. Later in life he continued working in maintenance and loss prevention. Fred was a kind and generous man with a unique sense of humor which brought joy and laughter to those around him. All were always welcome in his home. It was rare that anyone entered his home and left without being gifted something. Fred was an avid collector of tools and antiques. He enjoyed home improvement projects, yardwork, shopping and couponing, bargain hunting, playing cards, and watching old movies and professional wrestling. He often quoted the Lone Ranger and other old time TV characters from his youth. Fred also had a sweet tooth and enjoyed baking cakes and pies for all to share. Most of all, he enjoyed spending time with his family. Fred’s care has been entrusted to the Earle Funeral Home, 122 W. Church St., Blackwood, NJ 08012. Interment and graveside service will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 21, 2018 at Erial Cemetery, 931 Jarvis Rd., Erial, NJ 08081.
