Howard L. Stalker
BERNE — Howard L. Stalker was a country boy at heart, who needed only his wife and his children to be happy.
He died on June 4, 2010, at St. Peter’s Hospital in Albany. He was 82.
“I had a friend who said we lived in the State of Stalker, and it was kind of true,” said his wife of 62 years, Audrey Stalker. “We had seven children, and we really didn’t need anybody else. I know that sounds funny, but it’s really true.”
Mr. Stalker was born on Jan. 17, 1928, in Berne, the son of Clyde and Flossie Stalker.
He worked for Verizon, retiring in 1984. He was also a life member of the Telephone Pioneers, and was a master of the Berne Free and Accepted Masonic Lodge.
His wife described him as a “fine craftsman,” and this was a skill they shared. He enjoyed refinishing antiques, and chair caning. He also loved his garden, Mrs. Stalker said.
“We traveled a little bit, mostly to go and see our daughter whose husband was in the service,” said Mrs. Stalker. This included trips to Texas, Alabama, and Oklahoma.
The couple also traveled to Amish County in Reading and Lancaster, Pennsylvania, because Mr. Stalker was a country boy, his wife said.
Mr. Stalker met his wife of more than six decades in the first grade. She was 6, and he was 7. They got married on Nov. 8, 1947.
In addition to his wife, Howard L. Stalker is survived by five children: Pamela Murdock and her husband, Richard; Wayne Stalker; Brian Stalker and his wife, Debora; Penelope Heim and her husband, Theodore; and Adam Stalker and his wife, Dianne.
He is also survived by eight grandchildren.
His son, Stewart Howard, and his daughter, Gretchen Suzanne, died before him.
The Fredendall Funeral Home in Altamont has made the private funeral arrangements.
