    Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Mr. Stauffer from years ago. He was a neighbor up the street at the end of Hawthorne Drive, and my first employer as a teenager, when I spent the summer working for him in his carpet cleaning business. Stauffer’s Steam Genie Carpet Cleaning. I learned a lot from him, both about carpet cleaning, and about life in General. A wonderful man, and one of the first adults I knew who talked to me and treated me as an adult. I grew up a lot that summer, and will always remember him fondly.
