The Board of Election Commissioners for the City of St. Louis notes with sadness the passing of Gary Stoff on Saturday, July 11, 2026. Gary served the City of St. Louis as Republican Director of Elections, a tenure that began in 2001. He was known and loved as a personal, familiar face to poll workers and voters alike, and his dedication to the integrity of our elections will be remembered by all who worked alongside him. He was always there to provide guidance and assistance, and he will be greatly missed.

Our thoughts are with his wife, Betsy, and his family and friends during this time. A Memorial Mass will be held Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. at St. Stephen Protomartyr Church, 3949 Wilmington Ave, St. Louis, MO 63116.

May Gary rest in peace.
