Stewards of Our Mission – In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we share the passing of R. Dauer Stackpole.
Mr. Stackpole passed away peacefully on Friday, October 17, 2025.
​
A proud graduate of the University of Pittsburgh in the late 1960s, Dauer remained a devoted Panther throughout his life and was a longtime member of the Golden Panther Club. He was also a graduate of Mercersburg Academy, a preparatory school in Pennsylvania, and pursued post-graduate studies at Bucknell University. In addition, he was a proud U.S. Army veteran, having honorably served his country during the Vietnam War 1969-1970.
​
Dauer’s service to the Stackpole-Hall Foundation spanned more than five decades. He was first elected a Trustee in 1974 and became Chairman of the Board in 2007, leading with integrity, wisdom, and vision until his retirement in 2017. Upon retirement, he was named Honorary Trustee, a role he held with pride and distinction until his passing.
​
In recognition of his commitment, leadership, and unwavering dedication to the Foundation and the residents of Elk County, Dauer’s fellow Trustees established a scholarship in his honor at the Elk County Community Foundation — a lasting tribute to a man whose life exemplified service, generosity, and community spirit.
Dauer will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to know him, work alongside him, and be inspired by his kindness.
​
We extend our deepest sympathy to his wife, Lucy, daughter, Daisy, siblings, Laurey and Scott, and to all his nieces and nephews.
