Remembering UF Emeritus Professor Harold Stahmer
Stahmer will be remembered for his big heart and capacity to empathize with all humankind
Harold Stahmer will be remembered by the smell of books, cigars and turtles as well as his love of chocolate ice cream, at least to Hannah, his daughter. Others will remember him as a lifelong advocate for justice and equality.
Stahmer, a UF religion emeritus professor, died at 91 in Gainesville on Oct. 23 after a five year battle with Parkinson s disease. His actions and role in education left a memorable mark in his family and at UF.
“He was a pretty amazing dad,” his youngest daughter, Hannah Stahmer, 59, said.

A consistent message I have heard from every constituent, regardless of ideology or geography, is that you expect our local governments to work together, and efficiently so. Whether a service is the responsibility of the city or the county usually isn’t relevant to the person who needs it.
The good news is that in most cases, the city of Gainesville and Alachua County work together very well. One of the examples of city/county collaboration I have most enjoyed during my time on the commission is the Joint Water and Climate Policy Board, which I have chaired for the past year.
