Richard Arnold Stutz was born October 22, 1937.He graduated from St. Benedict’s School in 1951, attended high schools at Calvert Hall College, and at St. Vincent’s Archabbey in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. He earned his baccalaureate by taking night classes at Loyola College, graduating in 1963.
He taught on the elementary school level in the early 1960’s with the Sisters of Mercy at St. Joseph’s, Cockeysville, before joining the faculty of the Cardinal Gibbons High School in 1963
to teach Freshman World History to the classes of 1967, 1968 and 1969.
He is remembered for casting Donald Shook (’69) as Cleopatra for an in-class skit, and providing homeroom 9-G with its motto “De gustibus non desputandum est,” which he translated as “Matters of the stomach are not to be disputed.” He may also be remembered for presenting many of Luther’s principles in a favorable light, and for canonizing himself “St. Richard.” He more than once recommended the film Imitation of Life, and made numerous references to Kempis’ Imitation of Christ It was he that organized our Freshman trip in the spring of 1966 to houses of worship in Washington, D.C., including the Episcopal National Cathedral (then still under construction) and the Mosque at the Islamic Center. He educated his students to be rational, open-minded and accepting.
In 1969 Mr. Stutz began working for the City of Baltimore in the Department of Social Services where he continued until his retirement.
Mr. Stutz regarded his time at Gibbons as the most enjoyable and rewarding time of his professional life. In the Crusader '69 he was remembered by five of us as their favorite teacher.
He particularly enjoyed attending the fortieth-year reunion of the class of 1969, and spoke about it at length with his friends.
Mr. Stutz became hospitalized on Tuesday June 23. Scans indicating that cancer had spread pervasively, extending to the liver, he was given to expect to live from two weeks to six months more.
He returned to his home in East Baltimore on Friday, June 26, receiving hospice care there for five days until his death on Wednesday, August 1, 2009 at age 71.
Mr. Stutz is survived by his aunt, Miss Leona Stutz,Marylander Apartments, 3501 St. Paul Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21218.
