Joseph Stein, 66, Peoria, Ariz., died Jan. 5, 2002, at the home of his sister-in-law after a short, but brave and courageous battle with gall bladder cancer. Cremation has taken place. Services will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday at Boelter Funeral Service Chapel, 200 W. Turnpike Ave., Bismarck, with the Rev. Robert Hubal officiating.
Joseph Stein was born Sept. 3, 1935, at Timmer, the son of Anton and Minnie (Zentner) Stein. He was educated at St. Mary's Grade School and St. Mary's Central High School. He served in the U.S. Air Force for four years overseas, most of that time in France.
After returning from the service, he went to work as an insurance salesman for American Republic Insurance. He later worked for Atlas Inc. He met and married Donna Mae Pfenning on Oct. 14, 1961. Together they raised three children. He retired from Atlas in 1994, and moved to Arizona. He married Karen (Ketterling) Engel on Oct. 21, 2000.
He was a lifetime member of the Bismarck Eagles, the Amvets and the American Legion Post No. 0062 of Sun City, Ariz. Joe enjoyed playing cards, working crossword puzzles, his daily swim and watching sports on TV, especially cheering for the Atlanta Braves and Green Bay Packers. But, most important was spending time with family and friends.
He is survived by his wife, Karen; one daughter and son-in-law, Jodi and Russell Gardiner, Tucson, Ariz.; two sons and daughters-in-law, Jared and Laura Stein, Sanford, N.C., and Jamie and Stacy Stein, Bismarck; seven grandchildren, Nicole Stein, Macon, Ga., Chasz Stein, Bismarck, Julia, Dawson and Karstyn Gardiner, Tucson, Ariz., and Phoenix and Landri Stein, Sanford, N.C.; his mother, Minnie Stein, Bismarck; one sister and brother-in-law, Angie and Al Lick, Bismarck; two brothers and sisters-in-law, Marcus and Clem Stein, Bismarck, and Ray and Shirley Stein, Devils Lake; one stepson and daughter-in-law, Brent and Traci Engel; four step-grandsons, Timothy Doll and Tyler, Trevor and Toby Joe Engel, all of Canoga Park, Calif.; two sisters-in-law, Jolene Ketterling, Bismarck, and Donna Stein, Spokane, Wash.; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his first wife, Donna; his father, Anton; one brother, Richard; two nephews, Stuart Pfenning and Brent Lick; and one sister-in-law, Marlene Sullivan.
