Rev. Stoker was a faithful minister for more than 60 years. He served the Lord not only in the local church, but in multi-national and cross-denominational outreaches. He was an Air Force veteran, aircraft mechanic, airplane pilot and instructor. He was also a carpenter, plumber, electrician, mechanic, and lover of all things tech-related. He was a man of many skills, and had a passion for excellence in everything. Bro. Jamie was a man of great character, integrity, and ethics. His love for others reached across many denominational, cultural, ethnic, and social strata. As so many have aptly said, "He was my friend."
