Daniel George Stoffel

Lisbon-Daniel George Stoffel, 76, passed away peacefully at 9:26am, Sunday, October 15, 2023 at the Salem Regional Medical Center following an extended illness.

George was born April 5, 1947 in East Liverpool, Ohio, a son of the late Charley and Elizabeth “Betty” (Crawford) Stoffel.

George was a member of the Wellsville Masonic Lodge #180, the Wellsville VFW, and the Wellsville Moose Lodge.  He also loved watching old western movies, especially when they starred John Wayne.  George never met a stranger and enjoyed just sitting and shooting the breeze while enjoying a nice cold beer.
