So very sad to hear of your passing
You have been a part of our lives for 40 years or so. A witness at our wedding, and a true friend. We had many a lively discussion around our table but always enjoyed the banter. You will always be our true unsung hero.
Rest in peace John.

Comrade JLS
I could sense your presence at your funeral, you saw it all. What a good send off! Keep the Red Flag flying up there. You will never be forgotten. May the 31st is John Stoker Memorial Day.

Rest in peace Comrade Stoker
Those of us still alive in this moat of dust, suspended in a sun beam should take note of Comrade Stokers life. He fought for those who nobody fought for, he helped those who others did not want to help. Comrade Stoker did not do it for the thanks or the glory, he did it because he believed it was the right thing to do. Comrade Stoker was one in a million and his spirit lives on. I shall take something positive from Comrade Stokers passing and that is whenever I feel that the fight for justice and fairness is not worth fighting, I will take comfort and resolve knowing that Comrade Stoker would carry on, and so shall I.

John was our friend and guide when we needed help. May he now rest in peace after all of his hard work for everyone else. A true socialist.
