A chance encounter at the YMCA in Des Plaines, IL led to a 50+ year friendship with our family.  Germán was a warm and endearing person, someone you looked forward to being around.  He was the kind of person that inspired others to be their better selves and he did this with such ease. His strong love of Faith, family and fitness was evident throughout his life and positively impacted those around him. His was a life well lived. We are so deeply saddened by his loss and feel the world is a lesser place without Germán.  We are so grateful our paths in life crossed.
Cariños,
The Stube Family

Rest in Peace! 

I was deeply saddened to hear of your passing. I will always cherish the memories of the times we spent together, especially the sailing trips with your daughters and the arm wrestling challenges we had. You always won!

You will be dearly missed, and I am grateful for the time we had together. Your memory will live on in the hearts of those who knew and loved you.

Sending my deepest condolences to your family and loved ones during this difficult time.

Jorge & Grace Padron

Rest in peace, my friend.

Dear Carole,
My deepest sympathy to you and the family. You know that I was always close to him spiritually. May the Father Almighty have him next to him. God bless him. And God bless you too.

I wish to express my sincere condolences to German’s family. I adored that absolutely wonderful human being from day one since I met him over 30 years ago.  He still holds a special place in my heart that can never be replaced. Love to all, Diane Preuss, Landers-Stein.
