Obituary Bismarck Tribune (Nov 08, 2006) William L. Stumpf, 88, Mandan, went to be with the Lord Nov. 6, 2006, at St. Alexius Hospital, Bismarck. Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 9, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, Mandan, with the Rev. Patrick Schumacher officiating. Burial will be in Mandan Union Cemetery.
Visitation will be held from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. today at Weigel Funeral Home, Mandan, where a Catholic Daughter Rosary will be held at 4 p.m., a Knight's of Columbus Rosary at 7 p.m., followed by a parish vigil at 7:30 p.m. Visitation will continue one hour before services at the church on Thursday.
William was born Dec. 3, 1917, in Mandan, the son of Nicholas and Mary (Bender) Stumpf. He attended school at St. Joseph's and graduated from Mandan High School in 1936. Bill married Margaret (Imogene) Ritchey on May 5, 1938, at St. Mary's Church in Bismarck. Together they enjoyed raising four daughters and 68 years of marriage.
Bill worked as an engineer on the railroad for 40 years. He never missed a day of work and was never late for a call. His passions were for raising his family and the railroad. Bill took the last steam engine out of the yard and brought in the new diesel engine. He was a proud man for also working on the Northern Pacific, where he drove out the last passenger train, that had been discontinued, from Mandan to Glendive, Mont. He also worked on Amtrack and drove the last Amtrack down to Dickinson.
Upon Bill's retirement, he devoted his time and energy to the North Dakota State Railroad Museum, forwarding its purposes for the betterment of his fellow workers and the community. He was inducted into the hall of fame this year.
Bill and Margaret were members of the Good Sam Club, the Trail Blazers Chapter and the Dakota Ramblers. Bill was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Catholic Order of Foresters. He was a wonderful woodworker and gardener.
Those of us who will look forward to seeing him in heaven are his wife, Margaret; four daughters, Arlene Mae (Marvin) Roemmich, Rapid City, S.D., Patricia LaVoy, Spearfish, S.D., Rosemarie (Arly) Bloomgren, Mandan, and Susan (Neal) Leno, Bismarck; eight grandchildren, Meghan and Sarah Leno, Peggy Sue, Julie and Billy Lindquist, Darcy and Ron Roemmich and Jessica Broomgren; 11 great-grandchildren; one sister, Frances Knoll, Mandan; one brother, Robert (Cathy), Benson, Ariz.; and one sister-in-law, Pat Stumpf, Seattle.
