Edward Victor Stemnock, Jr. passed away peacefully at home Sunday, August 28, 2022; he was 86 years old. Born October 30, 1935, Edward was the son of the late Edward and Barbara Stemnock of Rices Landing, PA.
A devoted husband, married for 65 years to Marian (Kochis) Stemnock. The couple lived and raised their family in Hiram, OH for 46 years. Edward traveled the world while enlisted in the United States Air Force in the mid-1950s. Edward enjoyed an illustrious career as Vice President of Top Services, Inc. Known to many happy kids from the 60s and 70s as the Candy Man. Edward’s passions were airplanes and fast cars. He owned a Cessna airplane and had multiple pilot’s licenses. His pride and joy was his Bricklin, a gull-wing 2-seater sports car, that moved like an airplane on the ground.
Edward is survived by his loving wife, Marian; children, John (Nancy) Stemnock, Robert (Lisa) Stemnock, and Bernardine (Robyn) Ward; six grandchildren; four great grandchildren; sisters, Sr. Bernie Marie Stemnock, OSF and Barbara Cvelbar, as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, and many friends.
