Joseph Stumpf Obituary
Joseph R. Stumpf, born November 8, 1944 in Pittsburgh, was the oldest son of Joseph C. Stumpf and Theresa Reuss Stumpf.
Joe was a lifelong member of St. Francis of Assisi Parish, St. Mary’s site in Herman. He was a graduate of Knoch High school in Saxonburg, California University of Pennsylvania (BA), and the State University of New York at Oswego (MA). Joe was a devoted teacher of Technical Education and Computer Drafting at Knoch HIgh School in the South Butler School District for 38 years.
He was an active member of the community, a lifetime member of the Herman Volunteer Fire Company, a member of the Knights of Columbus and the RC Men's Club. He had served as ScoutMaster, Committee member, and in several other roles for Boy Scout Troop #39 for more than 30 years, and during this time, many young men achieved the rank of Eagle Scout due to his leadership. His love of Se Jong Tae Kwon Do started in 1985 and he eventually achieved a 5th degree black belt and became an instructor of his own school. Se Jong Tae Kwon Do was one of Joe’s biggest passions and included members of his family and some of his best friends throughout his life.
Additionally, Joe was a lover of the outdoors and enjoyed hiking, biking, hunting, camping at Cook Forest State Park, and a good golf game with friends.
