0 responses 0 comments On Sunday, Oct. 8, Onslow Stauffer was called home to be with the Lord. His battle with lymphoma was short but hard fought. Family members were bedside at the time of his passing. Onslow leaves behind a wife of 51 years, Shirley, and his children Patricia, Kenneth and Robert. Also seven grandchildren; Anna, Christine, Cody, Kennedy, Shannon, Riley and Brady. He joins another daughter already in heaven, Diane.
Born June 16, 1929, Onslow grew up in Pittsburgh, Pa. during the Depression and World War II eras. At 14, he took on three paper routes to support the family.
Some knew Onslow for his work, while others knew him for his sense of humor and optimistic character. “If it gets any better, I won’t be able to stand it!” he often proclaimed.
A UCLA graduate in 1957, Onslow found the aeroscape industry home for many years, until becoming a real estate appraiser in 1979. Shortly thereafter, he founded California Appraisal Service, Inc. which became a thriving business involving almost all of the family. Up until the end, at the age of 77, Onslow was still working as an appraiser.
Services for honor and gratitude were held Friday, Oct. 13 at 10:30 a.m. at Tehachapi First Baptist Church and internment took place at Tehachapi Public Cemetery– Westside. Dr. Jeff Kaplan officiated the services.
Arrangements were handled by Wood Family Funeral Service.
