STUTZMAN, John Charles. With profound sadness, we announce the passing of John Charles Stutzman, 91 who passed away August 9th, 2019 at St. Mary's Hospital, Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, nearly three weeks after a significant fall.
John is survived by his beloved wife Erma (nee Hunsberger), sister-in-law Elsie and her husband Glen Shantz, sister-in-law Catherine Hunsberger, sister-in-law Ruth Hunsberger, sister-in-law Mary Schiedel, brother-in-law Ken Hunsberger.
He is predeceased by his mother Clara, father Clarence, stepfather Earl Stutzman and half-brother, James.
John was a much-loved uncle and great-uncle to his many nieces, nephews and great-nieces and nephews and was also dearly loved by Sunny, Hannah and Sophie to whom he was always known as Uncle!
While John had an uncanny ability to make people laugh, it was his demonstrated unconditional love and care for Erma that showed us all what love really looked like. It was this love and care that brought them back to Waterloo, Ontario, Canada in December 2018 so that Erma could be close to her family.
A memorial service will take place at The Mennonite Church of Normal, IL on Thursday August 29th at 10:30 a.m. with a reception to follow. Visitation will begin at 9:30 a.m. at the church. Kibler-Brady-Ruestman Memorial Home in Bloomington is assisting the family with arrangements.
A private burial has taken place. Memorial donations can be directed to Mennonite Central Committee or Bluffton University.
