We were deeply saddened to learn of Mr. Stineman’s passing. He was an ardent supporter of his son’s activities at William Penn High School over the years. He always could be counted upon to assist whenever needed. We extend our heartfelt sympathies to the entire family and will be keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers.

As one of Bob’s fire service friends, and he had many across Delaware, the region and the country, I can truly say he left this world in a lot better shape because of his work to make it better. He never had a bad word to say about anyone and was always the deeper thinker. He was a good man and will be missed by many.
Prayers of comfort to you, Bob & Kathy.
