J Henry Stahl, Jr.

J Henry Stahl, Jr., 89, of Williamsport, passed away, Wednesday, July 15, 2026 at UPMC Williamsport.

Born on May 3, 1937, in Williamsport, he was the son of the late J Henry, Sr. and Lily Mae (Wray) Stahl.

J was a graduate of Williamsport High School and continued his education by attending Williamsport Area Community College. He proudly served his country in the United States Navy.

On May 15, 1956, he married the love of his life, Joann Marie (Schon) Stahl. This year, they celebrated an extraordinary milestone of 70 years of marriage, a testament to their enduring love, devotion, and partnership.

J began his career as a television repairman before joining the Williamsport Area School District, where he worked as an electrical worker for 25 years until his retirement. He was a devoted member of Hepburn Baptist Church, a member of VFW Post #7863, Duboistown, and had been a member of F.& A.M. Lodge #335, Montoursville, since 1984.

J found joy in life's simple pleasures. He loved spending time camping, gathering around the table for a good game of cards, and preparing meals for those he loved. Above all, he was a thinker.

He is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, Joann Marie Stahl; three children, Dennis Stahl (Kathy) of Pennsdale, Diane Loudenslager (Don) of Cogan Station, and Gary Stahl (Cindy) of Loyalsock; five grandchildren, Eric, Jill (Eric), Chase (Casey), Sianna, and Emma; four great-grandsons, Trent, Maddox, Noah, and Logan; and a sister, Grace LeVan of North Carolina.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by two sisters, Lillie and Claire.

The family will hold a memorial service to honor J's life at 11 a.m., Friday, July 24 at Hepburn Baptist Church, 2917 Pleasant Valley Road, Cogan Station, PA 17728 with a luncheon to follow.
