I have such fond memories of Mr. Stull. He really encouraged a love of history and digging beyond the minimum details. Rest in the arms of the Great Teacher, Mr. Stull. Prayers for the family.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Stull.
I had the pleasure of having him as a teacher at Holland in 1988.
He was not only one of the best teachers I ever had, he was one of the nicest men I have ever met.
Our loss is heavens gain!
Rest in peace Mr. Still
You will be missed

Mr Stull was an outstanding teacher. He made history fun. And he had a killer hook shot into the corner wastbasket.
God speed good man.

Mr. Stull was one of the few teachers who really stood out to me in Holland Twp, who clearly enjoyed his subject matter and teaching his students. I hope the “Picasso” I painted him in 6th grade (since he liked Sunflowers so much) finds a home, just like he’ll always have a home in my heart. My condolences and prayers for a great man. and his family.

I’ll remember Mr. Stull as the loving father and husband he was to Mrs. Stull and his family. A bright man with a keen interest in learning and a great conversationalist. A life well lived, a true role model for any man. He can now rest in peace with God.

Frank was truly a gentleman and a great guy, with a super sense of humor. His wife and my wife are first cousins. Whenever we would get together, we always played a few lawn games. He was unbeatable at lawn darts and bean bags. As he himself put it, tongue-in-cheek, he had “great hand-eye coordination”. Our deepest sympathies to Darlene, Jim, Ron, Wendy, and all members of his extended family. Now he is at peace.

My brother, Dave, and I both had Mr. Stull as a teacher. Mr. Stull kept the atmosphere “light” in the classroom. Little did we realize at the time that we were actually learning and enjoying it! I will always remember Mr. Stull’s impersonation of “the native man walking across Africa”! Much sympathy to his family and friends.

Frank and the Stull family participated in many a fun time while visiting our family or ours visiting theirs over many years. My sympathies go out to everyone with Frank’s passing. My memory doesn’t serve me well as to Frank’s lawn dart or bean bag abilities, as my father remarked. However, I will say, he had a fantastic attitude about life and was one hell of a bucketeer.

Mr. Stull was one of my teachers at Holland Township and I learned so much from him, though I feel I learned more from him as a wonderful person and mentor. As I got older, I remember spending time with him. Those times meant so much to me. I really enjoyed our talks about traveling and taking pictures. I will miss him and think of him often. Thank you Mr. Stull! My thoughts and prayers go out to Mrs. Stull-Thank you for sharing him with all of us!
