Stommel, Daniel George
Daniel George Stommel, age 85, Menasha was called by God to Heaven on Augu st 6, 2006, at St. Paul Home, Kaukauna. He was born January 2, 1921, in Me nasha, son of the late John and Anna Stommel. Daniel married Ansonia Anderson on August 27, 1950, in Menasha. He was a member of St. Timothy Luther an Church, Menasha.
Dan was a humble, gentle man with a wonderful sense of humor. He was giv en many challenges in life and served them all well. Dan was always willi ng to give the shirt off his back to make someone else's life just a litt le bit better. After serving his country as a Marine in the South Pacif ic during World War II, he returned home to become a dedicated employ ee of Kimberly Clark for forty years. Dan's mission in life was to serve G od through hard work, care for his family, and appreciate nature. He enjoy ed the simple things in life. Dan loved hunting, fishing, cooking, and spe nding time at the cottage.
Dan is survived by his daughter, Barbara (Joseph) Peeters. He is further s urvived by his grandchildren: Samuel (Angela) Peeters, Kathleen Peeters a nd fiance' Jake Romenesko, Joseph Peeters, Benjamin (Ericka) DeLeeuw and A bigail DeLeeuw; four great grandchildren; a brother-in-law and three siste rs-in-law; nieces and nephews.
Daniel was preceded in death by his wife of twenty seven years, Ansonia, h is loving daughter Donna, three brothers, Walter, Paul and Edward; four si sters-in-law, and three brothers-in-law.
A traveler ventured forth one day upon a long and winding road with fai th and trust to lead the way and strength to bear his load. And at a sl ow but steady pace, he journeyed from place to place and learned his lesso ns in life. Until at last one quiet morning, he climbed yet one more hi ll and saw in the distance, a beckoning light that promised peace and res t. Following its glow, he came upon the House in which it shone.
