A memorial reception for Bill Stimmler, age 77, of Pescadero, California, previously of Annandale, will be held Sunday, July 10, from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Margot Picnic Pavilion. The world lost one of its kindest souls when Bill passed. An avid tinkerer, he used his gifts to improve the lives of his loved ones and the less fortunate. He often said he could fix anything but a broken heart. He is survived by his dearly beloved wife, Margaret (Coleman) Stimmler, their children Ann, Mary Kate, and Charlie, his siblings, Jim Stimmler and Joan Johnshoy, and gadgets and repaired machinery across Minnesota and the California Bay Area.
