Bill E. Stuckey, age 80 years, of Archbold, passed away peacefully Thursday afternoon, August 2, 2012, at CHP Defiance Area In-Patient Hospice Center, where he had been a patient three days. He was born February 26, 1932, on the family farm just west of Archbold, the son of Eli and Mary (Nafziger) Stuckey. On September 21, 1957, he married Valetta "Becky" Beck, and they were blessed with three children. A lifelong resident of the Archbold area, he spent his lifetime farming and continued helping his son on the farm.

He was a member of Lockport Mennonite Church, rural Stryker, and served on the board at Stryker Famer's Exchange for many years. He was a farmer at heart and enjoyed many travels with family and various trips with friends, and the grandchildren and great-grandchildren brought much joy to his life.
