Born December 16, 1951 in Covington, Kentucky, he was the son of the late Bernard T. and Pauline (Hoelscher) Stolz. Bernie proudly served his country in the U.S. Air Force.
He is survived by his wife of over 43 years, Karen E. (Fleckenstein), whom he married in 1975, at Saint Bernard Church in Dayton, KY; daughters, Stephanie (John (T.J.), Jr.) Miner and Amy Stolz; sister, Phyllis (Donald) Willmes; seven grandchildren, Lucy, Benson, Molly, Sophia Miner, Julian, Braxton, and Amelia Jones; many beloved nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Bernie will be remembered and celebrated for his kind and funny spirit.

His life brought so much joy to his wife, daughters, and grandchildren.
