Gerald “Jerry” Stahl 

Died peacefully at home on February 18, 2025 surrounded by his family at age 92. 

Survived by his wife of 70 years, Rita and their two children, Kathleen (Robert) Boisits-Brudnicki and Patricia (John) Kulka-Verhunce. Grandfather of Michelle (Edward) Smith, Kevin (Danielle) Boisits, Angela (nee Kulka) (Stephen) Dombrowski, and Jason Kulka. Great-grandfather of Aaron, Tina, Bridgette, Ben, Lilly, and Izzy. Beloved brother of Darlene (James) Marks. Also survived by his furry friends, Nala and Daisy, other loving relatives and friends. 

Jerry was the last surviving member of the ‘Original 13’ officers when the Oak Creek Police Department was formed in 1956. He was hired on December 17, 1956, and issued badge #6. He climbed the ranks within the Department, being promoted to Sergeant on June 1, 1968, and Lieutenant on May 20, 1985. Lt. Gerald Stahl retired on June 2, 1990, after 33.5 years of dedicated and honorable service to the citizens of Oak Creek.

He was also a proud veteran as he served in the Army in Alaska for two years. 

Jerry will also be remembered for being a great handyman. He built the two homes that he lived in, and he was known as MacGyver in the family because whenever there was a problem he would do his best to solve it. Other things he loved were gardening, fishing, and deer hunting.
