Beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend to all, John Frederick Stendal, 89, of Sedro-Woolley passed away Friday, December 28, 2007 at the Clayton House, an Adult Care Home in Sedro-Woolley.
John was born June 1, 1918 at his grandparents' home in Sedro-Woolley, where he attended schools and graduated from Sedro-Woolley High School with the class of 1937.
He married Dolores Nelson of Clear Lake in 1942, and was married until her passing in 1997. John worked at Skagit Steel for over 45 years and retired as ‘lead man’ of the machine shop. He was a member of the Masonic Lodge, Elks, Swinomish Yacht Club, and Trinity United Presbyterian Church.
John had a creative mind, and he was known for his interesting stories and quite a sense of humor. His love of life was apparent even to the very end.
He enjoyed boating in the San Juan Islands, spending time with family and friends at his cabin on Cain Lake, fishing and hunting with his good buddies, traveling to many destinations with his wife, music, cooking, and being at gatherings which always brought a smile to his face. Many mornings, he would be found preparing his famous pancakes while singing old tunes.
John is survived by his three children: Gary (Vicki) Stendal, of Pomeroy, Bliss Stephens and John Stendal both of Sedro-Woolley. He was blessed with six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren: Sara (Nick) Puls and their children, Axel and Mesa, Erin (Kyle) Rick and their children, Sam and Tiley, Shannon (Jack) Moore and their daughter, Esabella, Travis Stendal, Nick Potts, Lindsay (Anthony) Potts; his sister-in-law, Bernice Stendal; brother, Bill (Eloise) Stendal; his special friend, Katherine Jensen; and numerous nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents: P.A. ‘Puss’ Stendal and Mildred Stendal; his stepmother, Martha Stendal; and his brother, Ralph Stendal.
He will truly be missed by his family and friends, but his stories and memories will remain in our hearts forever.
A Memorial Service to celebrate John’s life will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, January 5, 2008 at the Lemley Chapel in Sedro-Woolley, with Pastor Wendy Tingley of Trinity United Presbyterian Church officiating.
Memorials are suggested to Trinity United Presbyterian Church or a charity of your choice.
