Navy Painting Installed on May 20th, 2014
On a perfect May day, the Navy painting was installed at the Committal Hall. An emotional tribute was paid to Ray Stumpf, and his wife Barb was there, surrounded by friends and family. Cemetery Director David Swantek, Project Committee Member Greg Zylka and Artist Charles Kapsner provided insight and commentary. Dispatch photographer Steve Kohls captured some great pics, and Senior Reporter, Renee Richardson from the Brainerd Dispatch wrote about the day. Both the article and photos can be found here:
