Rest in Peace Mr. Stuby. My head coach I actually played against in practice. I can see why you were a 3 year letterman. And you were a great science teacher at Midland in the 1980’s. Rest well.

Please accept my sincere condolences. My memories of Dale were always positive and he always gave me a chuckle. Slippery Rock grad school would have never been as much fun without him .
