The family of Allen G. Stippell would like to thank all of those who offered their support, love, gifts and condolences following his unexpected death this past April.

Some of you had come to know him through the various teams he coached, church committees he ran or events he organized. If he has touched your life in one of these ways, then you know how fair, enthusiastic and totally dedicated he was. Maybe you knew him though business dealings, and if so, you know that he was hard-working and honest. And those of you who have been his friends since high school know what a loyal friend he was.

There are not enough words to express how Al touched this world. Unfortunately, Al was so busy taking care of everyone else, he neglected to take care of himself. But to think about it - Al didn't know any other way to live his life.

The words of Mother Teresa are a reminder of how Al lived his life:

"We are not called upon by God to do great things. We are called upon by God to do little things with great love."

The overwhelming response from all who knew Al was very comforting to his wife Sue, and sons, John and Michael. We thank you for honoring his memory.
