Paul C. Stoker, 70, of Kutztown, formerly of Wescosville, died surrounded by his loving family Jan. 11, 2019, at Kutztown Manor, where he was a patient since October. He was the husband of Ruth L. (Noss) Stoker. They were married for 29 years. Born in Allentown, he was a son of the late Raymond and Arlene (Hinkle) Stoker.

He was president and owner of Miracle Water Conditioning Company, Wescosville, a company started by his mother.

He enjoyed fishing and boating, traveling to the seashore and vacationing with his family. On one fishing trip he caught more than just a fish. He saved the life of a six-year-old boy who rode his bike too close to the wharf and fell in with the bike on top of him. The boy could not swim. Paul jumped in and saved him. He received an Outstanding Citizenship Award from the Neptune (N.J.) Policemen’s Benevolent Association for his heroic actions.

He is survived by his wife; daughters, Michele R. (Colbert) and her husband Edward W. Wise, of Jonestown, Lebanon County; Wendy L. (Colbert) and her husband Gerald J. Fuoti, of Blandon and Donna L. (Colbert) and her husband Michael W. Christman, of Topton; grandchildren, Ryan E. Wise, Hunter A. Fuoti and Kylie M. Fuoti; goddaughter, Miracle A. Stewart, of Easton. He was predeceased by grandchildren, Stephanie M. Wise and D. Seth Fuoti.

Contributions may be made in his memory to Lehigh Valley Hospice, 2166 S. 12th St., Allentown, 18103.
