Michael W. Stoner
Wednesday, April 1st, 1942 - Tuesday, April 21st, 2020
Michael Watson Stoner, 78, of Hagerstown, Maryland passed away on Tuesday, April 21st after a long battle with MDS. He was the son of the late Watson C. Stoner and Catherine Strickler Stoner, of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania.
Mike graduated from Mercersburg Academy in 1959 where he was an All-American swimmer. Receiving his Bachelor of Architecture Degree from Virginia Tech University in 1964, Mike went on to attend Naval Officer’s Candidate School. He was commissioned as an officer in May of 1965 and married his childhood sweetheart, Jeanne Price, on the same day.
After attending Naval Justice School, Mike served as the deck and weapons officer on the LST, USS Cheyboygan County stationed in Little Creek, VA which deployed annually to Panama. In 1968 he entered the field of architecture in Baltimore, MD. Shortly thereafter Mike relocated his family to Hagerstown, MD designing for the architectural firm of Bushey and Burrey, AIA. In 1984 The Stoners moved to Hollidaysburg, PA where he established the architectural firm for The Patt Organization. 1991 found the Stoners returning to Hagerstown where Mike worked as the Hagerstown Housing Authority’s architect and Deputy Director, retiring in 2012.
Mike was a member of the American Institute of Architects, Fountain Head Country Club, The Hagerstown Exchange Club (President, 83), The Hagerstown Rotary Club, and was on the Board of Technical Appeals for the City. As a member of Zion Reformed United Church of Christ he served as both a deacon and elder. He loved the game of tennis, tournament bridge and was an avid reader. His hobby, “railroading” was a life-time passion. In retirement he was known to travel unpaved roads with his dog as a companion, ignoring no trespassing signs, while watching for trains, and listening to bluegrass and country music.
Mike is survived by his wife and best friend, Jeanne; their children, Susan and Joe Leithauser, Granville, Ohio, (Clare, Peter, Sally); Matthew and Dawn Stoner, Oviedo, Florida, (Grace, Emma); and Sarah and Greg Christopher, Towson, Maryland, (Louisa).
A graveside service will be held in the Fairview Cemetery, Mercersburg, PA for the immediate family. A celebration of Mike’s life will take place at a later date.
