Dr. Stoner was hard working, steadfast and trustworthy, as well as a loving husband, father and friend.
He graduated from Western Maryland and University of Maryland Medical School.
He entered the Army in 1944, during World War II, and served for two years. He then began his medical practice in Walkersville with Dr. Carroll Easterday. He was in practice for almost 50 years with several doctors including Dr. Ernest Dettbarn and Dr. B.O. Thomas Jr. He retired May 1, 1994, to finally fully enjoy his leisure time.
During his college years, James led a band "Stoner and his Pebbles" where he played the lead trumpet. He enjoyed fishing, hunting, golfing, gardening and playing cards. One of his greatest loves was jazz. He made many trips with Eliza to the Sacramento Jazz Festival.
