Great Grandpa Stoll

Great-Grandpa Stoll passed away on Sunday at the ripe ole' age of 91. We have spent the last few days remembering a life full of love for the Lord and his family.

Grandpa Daniel M. Stoll:
was born 8/20/1916 to Samuel (one of our Sam's namesakes) and Rosa
married Lydia Swartzentruber on Jan 1, 1939 (d. 2002)
was a father to 8 children
a grandfather to 23 grandchildren
and 44 great grandchildren
was a life long dairy farmer
a master woodworker
a great jokester
and loved White Steamer hamburgers and orange pop.
Today all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren sang at the funeral-what a legacy. It was wonderful to have everyone together, and we know Grandma and Grandpa Stoll were looking down from above!

Sam and Dryce at Grandpa Stoll farm on Sunday. They love to play on Grandpa's pony cart.
Sept 2006 - Grandpa Stoll's house. Dan with his Grandpa Daniel Stoll and Sam. Grandpa gives each great grandson a tractor. For all you tractor lovers out there, it is usually (RED- Case) but this shopping day Grandpa got tired and said green would have to do. Sam loves his John Deere from Great Grandpa Stoll.
