Howard C. Stauffer Jr. 1964-2021

He was the son of the late Dr. Howard C. Stauffer and Marion Madzy Stauffer. Howard graduated from William Howard Taft Chartered High School (1982) and holds his BA from UCLA (1986) and attended Loyola Law School, Los Angeles (1988). Due to health issues, he later moved to Emmaus, Pa. and then Boardman, to be close to his family.

Howard’s passions were history, philosophy, military simulation games, chess, Indy car racing, football and talking with friends. He was a brilliant history buff and enjoyed studying Medieval, European and World Wars I and II history throughout his life. Howard also enjoyed an especially close relationship with his godmother / aunt, Lorraine; he spoke to her nearly every day for the past 30 plus years.

He is survived by his half-brother, Mark Stauffer; half-sisters, Deborah Stauffer and Sally Ann Pennington; aunts and uncles, Lorraine and John T. Molnar of Myrtle Beach, S.C., Kathleen and William Soubeyrand of Austintown, and Brenda Stauffer and Hilda Stauffer, both of Emmaus, Pa.; and 13 cousins.
