Wally was a pleasure to be around. A straight shooter all the way. What a pleasant Irishman. Heaven is a better place now that he is at home there.It gives us all something to look forward to. Till we meet again Wally. With my deepest sympathy Tim Millheim

The piping industry and Local #274 lost a great man with the passing of John Stiles.  John and I worked together for many years.  He was the best at whatever task he tackled.  He was a good man, tried and true.  Rest in peace John, the task is complete.

So Sorry to read of the passing of John Stiles.My Heart felt Condolences go out to Micheal & His Family and All The Stiles Family & Relatives of John Stiles. I respected Him not only as a Business Agent but as A Person and a Friend.He’s a Good Family Man. I know He will be Missed and Remembered for a Long Time .I for one won’t forget Him. The few phone calls I got from Him for work whether for a couple days or weeks always lead to years of Employment. They always started with “ Do Me a Favor”We had some ups and downs, They always ended with a Hand Shake ,  Smile and Respect for each other.I remember one time as I was driving Home on route 80 , I got a phone call from Him about a ladder I had on my pickup.I was shocked! After getting a riot speech from Him, I told Him , I was stealing that Ladder.He laughed and said Forget I called You. I still have that Ladder.Back in the late 70s He was also helpful with me Collecting Money from The VA for Attending  Apprenticeship Trade School. We all will experience The Passing of Someone We love or liked . It will take time to adjust to the Fact of One’s Passing. It’s the Memories that will keep them living in Our Mind. I for one, will never forget John. He’s just one of Good Ones. Rest in Peace My Friend I owe You with the Greatest Respect …. Jack

John was a man’s man was a man of his word He was a good union leader and always stood up for the men He was intimidating when he had to be but then he would put his arm around you like a good father or as he would say a Dutch uncle and give you a smile The world would be a better place if we had more Johnny Stiles s in it Our prayers and condolences to the entire family Mike you and your family must be so proud and were so blessed to have him as your husband father grandfather and friend Rest in peace brother.        Davey Sly and his big brother Frances

I am honored that I could call John Stiles my father-in-law and to be part of this family.  John has always put family first. He's so loved and respected within his family, and with Pipefitters Local 274.  So many memories to cherish, but one of my favorites is when he would tell one of his many  jokes and he would have that twinkle in his eyes.  Thank you for the love and memories. Rest in Peace Dad.  Love, Francie

My sincere condolences to the Stiles family. John was an amazing person and friend.  We had the honor of meeting him and Cathy when we bought our house and for many years. John loved my deceased husband Bob and was always so caring and kind to him and my whole family. RIP friend-neighbor. 

My most sincere condolences to the Stiles family. 
John was my first year apprentice school instructor in 1975. We hit it off right from the start. He served Local 274 and its members in the finest tradition of a labor union leader and brother. 
R.I.P., John.

Mike and family, so sorry for your loss. Johnny will always have a special place in my heart. Always there for the men. Dave Capalbo
