James Stork Obituary
On Thursday, January 7, 2010, James Loving Stork left his earthly home and entered his heavenly home.
James was born in Lynchburg, Virginia, the son of the late James Edward Stork and Helen Loving Stork.
James was survived by his wife, June W. Stork; one son, James Loving Stork and his wife, Bridget, of Lebanon, Virginia; one daughter, Braylan Boyle and her husband, Michael, of Crozet, Virginia; five grandchildren, Ashlie Stork, Ashley Shortridge, Emma Lane, Anabella and Lillie Boyle.
James was a true "cowboy". He rode horses to round ups and could rope his calves. He loved choosing show cattle, fitting the calves out to show, but the best was taking them into the ring and collecting the blue ribbon. After his family, cattle were his passion. He could tell you the family pedigree on each of his animals.
Jim loved to swap stories with his buddies, Courtney Craft, Ronnie Dollins, and Roscoe Faris. They spent many an hour these past months swapping tales as fast as they got them out.
Jim was educated in Albemarle County and graduated from Albemarle High School in l962. He then went to Virginia Tech where he graduated in 1968.
Jim loved to write and often wrote several letters to the Editor at the Daily Progress. He wrote poems to his friends and co-workers at University of Virginia, especially when Virginia Tech/University of Virginia football games came around.
Jim's family would like to thank the Hospice of the Piedmont for their dedicated service to him.
In lieu of flowers, please donate to the Hospice of Piedmont, 675 Peter Jefferson Parkway, Suite 300, Charlottesville, VA 22911.
The family will receive friends at the Anderson Funeral Home Chapel in Crozet, Virginia, from 4 until 6 p.m. Sunday, January 10, 2010.
A graveside service will be held 1 p.m. Monday, January 11, 2010, at Amherst Cemetery in Amherst, Virginia, with Doctor Glenn Holman of First Presbyterian Church in Waynesboro, Virginia, officiating.
Anderson Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

Mrs. Stork,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. I read the article in the magazine at AMC about your husband and Dr. Wilms. You see my husband suffers from the same thing your dear Jim suffered from. He found out in July 2008. Please let Jimmy know how truly sorry I am for his loss and I think of him often. I am not sure he will remember me and I only met you once but know that our prayers are with you.

To the Stork Family~
Jim was the best. My memories of him are of pure joy and laughter. He always spoke with a smile and his presence blessed anyone who came in contact with him. He was always willing to help if you needed it and he always put his best foot forward. I will never forget who he was and I will always remember the joy he brought to his work environment. He was the best!

We would like to send our condolences to the Stork Family. Jim was a wonderful man. By working with him at U.Va. for several years, it gave me the privilege of hearing some wonderful stories, as well as being part of a few practical jokes. Even after his retirement Jim often came by to visit us at work and take a couple of us out to lunch. Always with that spark in his eye he had some sort of story to tell. We would often lose track of time and be late in returning back to work But, the story made it so well worth it. My most recent conversation with Jim left me in tears, Not of sorrow but, in laughter, as once again a short story was so well worth hearing from Jim.
I will miss you and often think of you,
Deb Thompson

June, I am so sorry for your loss. Jimmy and I were at Tech together and of course I used to see him at the Charlottsville Farm Credit Office.
One of the best.
