Stocker, The Reverend Douglas Ralph It is with great sadness and broken hearts we call upon the strength of our Lord to help us through the passing of the Reverend Douglas Ralph Stocker on Friday, January 12th, 2018 at the age of 83 years. He was predeceased by his father Alfred Robert and mother Irene Margerite (nee Cooper). Doug is survived by his brother William (Gisele) and forever the love of his life, his wife of 61 years Marion (nee Erwin Thompson). A devoted family man he will be forever missed by his son Stephen (Randi) and daughter Karen. He was the cherished grandpa of Kitson (Lindsay), Kyle (Selina), loving Poppa of Matthew and Emma and great grandpa to Mattea and Canden, uncle to Debby (Jim) Palmer, Linda (Ward) Hewitt, Randy (Artur) and great uncle to Michael Palmer. He will be sadly missed by all his family and friends. Throughout his life Doug wore many hats. He was a member of the Perth's Citizens Band for a number of years, taught country school at a very young age, was a gym instructor at the Rideau Regional Centre in Smiths Falls and a computer programmer at the Jergens Company in Perth all before pursuing his lifelong dream of serving our Lord and becoming an Ordained Priest with the Anglican Church of Canada. He will be fondly remembered as a soft spoken, approachable, very insightful man, with a hard fast determination to ensure fairness for all. He could always be found on his computer or tablet and we can only hope that heaven has the internet. Family and friends may pay their respects to the man with the twinkle in his eyes always at the ready with a warm smile and a wink at the Blair and Son Funeral Home, 15 Gore St. West, Perth on Friday January 19th, 2018 from 3:00 to 7:00 P.M. A service will be held Saturday, January 20th, 2018 at 11:00 A.M. at St. James Anglican Church, Perth with a light lunch to follow. Interment Elmwood Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation or the Childrens Hospital Of Eastern Ontario (CHEO).
