Robert Wayne Stoner, 62, of Caledonia, Mississippi, died April 30, 2019, in Memphis, Tennessee. Robert was born the oldest of three sons on February 17, 1957, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, to George Stoner and the late Dorothy (Krysher) Stoner. He married Elizabeth Ann Storey in 1979, and they shared nearly 40 happy years and three children together. Robert loved music, especially the guitar. He owned six guitars and would often serenade his wife and family, even playing to them over the phone when he was overseas. He was also a voracious reader, avid baker, and railroad aficionado. His ceaseless curiosity about the world inspired his children’s love of learning. In addition to being an extraordinary husband and father, Robert served in the United States Air Force for eight years, after which he received an honorable discharge and began a career in precision measurement that eventually took him to Thule, Greenland, where he worked for more than 20 years. Robert was preceded in death by his brother, Loran, and his mother, Dorothy. He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth; children, Megan Joy, George Robert Douglas, and Philip Michael; father, George; and brother, Timothy. In respect of his wishes, there will not be a funeral service. Those wishing to make memorial gifts are asked to donate to the Sierra Club Foundation, in honor of his love of science and conservation.
