William Erwin Stofflet was born on February 14, 1942, in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin to the late Erwin and Margaret (Zweck) Stofflet. After graduating from Beaver Dam High School in 1960, he went on to earn a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater. Bill taught school in Union Grove for several years before returning to Beaver Dam and working for Juneau Milbrew/Red Star Yeast/Sensient Flavors for close to 25 years. He then worked for Karavan Trailers, Specialty Cheese, and Kreilkamp in Horicon until he retired in 2010.
Bill loved to hunt and fish, and enjoyed watching birds, gardening, Friday night fish fries, and Sunday drives. He was a huge Wisconsin sports fan and could be heard swearing at the Packers, Bucks and Brewers from his chair in front of the television.
Survivors include his wife, Janet Stofflet of Beaver Dam; two daughters, Kalen (Jeffrey) Ruck of Oshkosh and Whitney Stofflet of Minneapolis, MN; a granddaughter, Emily (Joseph) Schwartz of Neenah; his brother, Ronald Stofflet of Beaver Dam; his brother-in-law, Ron Hupf of Beaver Dam; three sisters-in-law and a brother-in-law, Marjorie Gramtham of Gransbury, TX, Connie Schoepke of Beaver Dam, Rachel (Ken) Longseth of Beaver Dam, and John (Peggy) Miller of Holmen; nieces, nephews, other relatives and friends. Bill was preceded in death by his parents; two sisters, Barb Frankenstein and Mary Hupf; a brother-in-law, Herbert Frankenstein; and a sister-in-law, Kathleen Stofflet.
The family wishes to extend a heartfelt thank you to the nurses and staff of Hillside Manor and Hospice for their wonderful care and support.

What a wonderful, kind person he was.
As a fellow classmate at BDHS, Bill was one of the nicest guys in our class. I watched the video and was so glad to see that his life was so happy.
With sympathy.....Mary Jo (Geschel) Wise

So sorry to hear about Bill's passing. He was a good long time friend. I met Bill in High School, we played sports together and tipped a few beers on Friday nights. My thoughts and prayers to Janet and the kids.

My sympathy to Janet and the rest of Bill's family. Chub and I go way back to high school when he played right tackle and I played right end on the BDHS football team. He was a good guy. May he rest in piece.
