Please visit D.T. Williams Funeral Home facebook page to view Mr. Bill Stadler, Sr. picture slideshow.
William "Bill" Stadler, Sr., 84, of Slidell, Louisiana, passed away Sunday, November 1st, 2020, and is now being held in the loving arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. His memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew him, as he was an extraordinary man. Bill was born in Charleston, West Virginia, on August 7, 1936, to Nile and Hazel Stadler. He enjoyed a happy childhood. As a boy, he worked at his mother's greenhouse with his beloved sister, Louise, and his older brother, Dick. He would later use the work ethic his family cultivated to become an outstanding businessperson.
Bill graduated from West Virginia University, where he was a member of the Beta Theta Pi fraternity. He married the love of his life, Betty Fields, during his final year of college, and they began to build their family together in West Virginia. He started working for Esso Standard Oil Company in Charleston in 1958, and in 1962 he began his long career with Texaco, Inc. In 1965, he was transferred to Fort Wayne, Indiana, where he earned an MBA at Indiana University while working as a Sales Supervisor. In 1980, Bill accepted a transfer to New Orleans as Texaco's Manager of Crude Supply, and the family moved to Slidell. He loved the challenge of that job, which he performed until his retirement in 2000, after 39 years with Texaco. But retirement just wasn't for Bill, and he worked for Flash Gas and Oil in Mandeville, Louisiana for many years thereafter. Bill was also an entrepreneur, and the founder of Stadler Sales and the Slidell Gun and Knife Show.
After retirement, Bill also became involved in volunteer work in his community, and his volunteer work was extensive: He was a member of the St. Tammany Action Committee, and served as a Board member of the Hospice Foundation of the South. Bill had a passion for classical music, and was a member of the Slidell Symphony Society, and served as its Chairman of the Board from 2000-2003, as well as remaining active on the Board for many years. He was a member of the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO) North Shore Advisory Committee, the Slidell LPO Advisory Committee, the Slidell LPO Support Group, and Mayor Drennan's Commission to Support the LPO. He was appointed by Mayor Ben Morris to the Slidell Commission on the Arts, where he also served as Chairman. Bill was also a member of the Robert E. Lee Monument Association, and the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Bill loved his community, and thoroughly enjoyed acting as the Duke of Krewe of Slidellian at one of his most memorable Mardi Gras.
Bill was also a gifted athlete, and especially enjoyed tennis and basketball. At the age of 60, Bill earned several gold medals in basketball at the Mississippi Senior Olympic Games, and in 2000 he scored his age, 64 points, in one game. Bill stayed active throughout his life and into his 70's.
Bill was a member of First Baptist Church of Slidell, and was a dedicated Christian throughout his life.
To know Bill was to know a man of integrity, strong work ethic, generous spirit, a great sense of humor, and tireless optimism. He loved Alabama and West Virginia football, dancing with Betty, listening to jazz and classical music, and spending time with his family. Very few people in the world get to enjoy the level of admiration, love and respect that Bill's family and friends had for him.
Bill is survived by his loving wife Betty, with whom he was married for 68 happy years, his three daughters Christie Stadler of Slidell, Beth Stadler Mills of Noblesville, Indiana, and Linda Stadler of Slidell, as well as five loving grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister and brother, Louise and Richard, and many nieces and nephews. Bill was predeceased by his son, William Stadler, Jr.
According to Bill's directive, no service will be held, as well as due to concerns for the health and safety of family and friends due to the current Covid crisis. Well-wishers may go to the Facebook page "D.T. Williams Funeral Home" to view photographs and send messages to the family.
