James Loving Stork

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.

Not sure what to say?

The members and supporters of the Albemarle High School Alumni Association were very sorry to hear about James Stork's passing. It is always sad to lose a member of the Albemarle family, and we offer our condolences to his family and friends.

Brian and I are so very sorry to hear of Mr. Stork's passing. Though we only met a few times long ago, we love James dearly and know how very much he will miss his father. Please know that we are thinking of you all and hope that your memories of him will help you through this difficult time.

June and Family,

We were so sorry to hear of your loss! Know that you all are in our thoughts and prayers! Know that Jim is watching over you all and that God will be with you during this difficult time.

Our love to all,

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.

June sorry to hear of your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Jim is resting peacefully now, God will see you through it all.

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!

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

June, Braelyn and Jimmy,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your dad. Keeping all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Donna, Greg and Josh Pugh

June-I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers as you have been for the past few months. God bless.
