He was preceded by his parents George and Leona Stader.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, August 5, 2023, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. at the Apfel Wolfe Funeral Home, Janesville. Funeral service will follow at 11:00 a.m. with Pastor Brad Urlaub officiating. Paul will be laid to rest next to his parents at the Milton Lawns Memorial Park Mausoleum, Janesville at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorials are appreciated to Kandu Industries, Inc. in Paul’s name.

A very huge thank you from Paul’s family to the staff members at Rem Bond Place and also his former group living home on Gershwin for the absolutely wonderful care given to Paul over all these years.
