Sameul Bruce Stuffle
Samuel Bruce Stuffle, Kingsport, passed away Tuesday afternoon, June 18, 2007, at his home.
He was born and spent his entire life at Rock Ledge, the sixth generation of the
Shaver-Welsh-Stuffle family to live in the Vermont Community home. This log house and its gardens were restored by Sam and his parents, Samuel Bruce and Virginia Rhea Stuffle, and is now on the National Registry of Historic Buildings in the United States.
Sam attended area schools and East Tennessee State University and worked as an accounting clerk for 34 years at Slip-Not Belting Corporation. He had spent much of his life studying Southern antiques and was widely know as an historian, expert appraiser, and collector. He had attended many training seminars through the years at Colonial Williamsburg and other historic centers.
He was a member of the National Trust, a board member of the Rocky Mount Historic Site, East Tennessee Historic Society, a life member of the Tennessee Historic Society, and was active with the Netherland Inn Association.
Sam was preceded in death by his parents; two brothers, Sneed and Leon Stuffle; and a niece, Sandra Kelly.
He is survived by two sisters and their husbands, Patsy and Neal Foulk and Martha and Rhea Newland, all of Kingsport; a sister-in-law, Wilma Stuffle, Kingsport; one niece, Sharon Amrhein; three nephews, Sonny Stuffle, Leon Newland, Greg Newland; and several great-nieces and great-nephews.
The family will receive friends any time at the home of a sister at 124 Ragsdale Street, Kingsport.
Graveside services will be conducted at 11 a.m. Thursday at Oak Hill Memorial Park with Rev. Robert N. Lominack and Chaplain Bob Gibson officiating.
Pallbearers will be Jeff Cupp, John Evans, Joseph Hodges, Richard Humphreys, John R. ?Jack? King, Thomas D. Shelburne, Dr. Arthur Garrett, and Leland Little.
The family would like to thank Earlene Haynes and Yvonne Jarrett of Adventa Hospice for their loving care.
The family requests no flowers. Memorials may be made to Vermont United Methodist Church for Love Meals, 1817 Bloomingdale Pike, Kingsport, TN 37660.
