I grew up in Lincoln Park with my parents, Richard and Mary Anne Stitzel, and three sisters. I graduated from Holy Name High School before furthering my education by earning a Bachelor’s degree from Wilkes University. I, then earned my degree in applied sciences from Simmons Institute of Mortuary Science.  

 

In addition to owning and operating two funeral homes, I have been active in my community in various roles. I served as a little league coach for Spring Township for many years and was an active firefighter and engineer with Spring Township and Goodwill (Muhlenberg Township) Fire Companies.

I live in Spring Township with my wife Becky and four children: Sarah, Jacob, Ethan, and Matthew James.
