I knew Kor from high school and I knew then that guy was going to spend his life working on cars doing great restoration or repair work on cars. Kor loved cars then. I knew that Cal-Kor Auto had to be the same Kor.. I never saw him again after high school, but I knew that guy was living his dream with cars and probably a family. Just a nice regular fellow, I am saddened about this for his family as I am sure Kor was a good father and husband. Please accept my condolences .
To Karen, Karson, Kurtis, Konnor and the Stoker family. I was totally shocked and saddened to hear of Kor’s passing. I appreciate the years I had as an employee and friend of Kor’s through my work there. I will never be taken advantage of in the auto repair business because of the knowledge and expertise that Kor shared with me and his employees. Thank you Kor. Karen and family, I am so sorry for your loss and please know Kor will be missed by many. Sharon Tapscott

My mother was the bookeeper for Cal-Kor Auto Collision for many years. I have lots of fond memories of spending time there waiting for my mom to finish work or just stopping by for a quick visit while running errands with my Dad. Kor was always there and greeted with me a smile. He was a gentle giant it seemed, very patient. He was a man who loved cars and had such a great work ethic. I was shocked to hear of his passing, and I send my sincerest condolences to the family.

Dear Karen, Kurtis, Karson, and Konnor, We can only aspire to live our lives like Kor, a man of many talents.

It was a pleasure to call him a friend. We will miss him and keep the memories of a life well-lived. Kor Stoker July 15, 1955 - February 7, 2021 Rest In Peace, Kor
Karen No words can express how we feel for your loss.Stay strong with the memories you both have shared.

To the Stoker family our sincere condolences. In the last few years Kor and I reconnected through his business. At this time he reminded me that our first meeting was when we were preteens taking music lessons from the conservatory. I believe Cornelia was involved as well. Kor was a very skilled, straight forward, honest, generous business owner. He was professional and customer service driven.He always took time to visit and catch up. He was a man that made a difference and will be truly missed.

I am so bery sorry for your loss. I met Kor through the Cobourg Yesteryears Facebook group. I shared his appreciation for cars. His talent in photography was stunning. My prayers are with you.
To Kor’s family: I only knew Kor from his stunning photography on the Lake Ontario Effect Facebook page, but I was greatly inspired by his unerring eye for drama and beauty. We had a few fun exchanges: once he took one of my photographs from the page and reposted it with his edits! Thus ensued some friendly banter about what the clouds looked like from Coburg and Rochester. RIP, Kor. I’ll miss your artistic talent.
So very heartbroken for you and your boys, Karen... sending you love and strength during this terrible time
I never met Kor in person-we were both members of the Lake Ontario Effect Facebook page. His artistry in the photos he shared of Cobourg made me want to travel there and I made plans to do so just as soon as the border opened up. He also was incredibly kind and generous when commenting of the photos posted by others. An artist has the ability to touch others with words and images. Kor touched the lives of so many. May his family find peace knowing how grateful we have come to know Kar from afar, and how much beauty he has brought to the lives of so many. God bless.
We were saddened to hear of Kor's sudden passing. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.
Very Sorry to hear of Kor's passing, he worked a long time to get to this phase of life to have it cut short, sad, he was a great guy and will be missed.
I only knew Kor through his photos on the FB page Lake Ontario Effect. He brought a lot of joy to the group with his pictures and his artistry. I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers for all his family and friends.
To the Stoker family, please accept my heartfelt condolences on Kor's passing. He had a wealth of knowledge about Cobourg and the surrounding area and shared many amazing photos! He will be missed by many family, friends and Cobourg Yesteryears members. I've only been a member for a few years but, really appreciated his knowledge. May he rest in peace.
So sorry for all concerned, I only knew Kor from our photo postings on the Facebook group "Lake Ontario Effect" but enjoyed his sharp eye for the beauty of the North Shore...we shared a few messages back & forth and I always looked forward to his daily offerings...I felt like he was a kindred soul in his search for new material and photographic explorations of his area...Kor is already missed in our little corner of the world here along Lake Ontario...R.I.P.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I know how you are feeling since I’ve been there when Dave passed away suddenly.
Karen, Kurtis, Karson and Konnor: I am so sorry for your loss. Kor was a sweet and sincere man and a great example of what a true gentleman was all about. He was very good to me and reached out a helping hand on several occasions. He was the epitome of family man and I know his goodness shines through all of you boys.
My sincere condolences Karen and family. I was saddened to hear of Kor’s passing. He was a great guy and will be missed.
Karen, Kurtis, Karson and Konner. Kor was the only man that ever believed in me. He was the kindest most generous hearted man I will ever know. He gave me a chance at life. He made me into the man I am today. He did not have to give that chance some 30 years ago, he did. I will always be grateful for that. He gave me guidance everyday after that. He showed me how life is supposed to be. Not only life, he shared all his knowledge of the automotive industry with me. He always reassured me that we were making the right decision about how we were fixing things, he was always there to bounce ideas off of about how to fix it the right way. He taught me how to work smarter, not harder. Kor and I talked about so much over the years, from when we started taking long snowmobile rides before the children were around, to watching you three boys grow up to be men. He really taught me about life, he helped me grow as a man, he helped me find my way. He always put others before himself, I believe in my heart he made sacrifices to help me better my life. He helped me be a better father, how to be an honest man, how to believe in myself, my work, my skills and in how to listen to my heart. He will always be more than a boss to me, I looked up to him. He was my big brother that I spent eight hours a day with everyday. He gave me direction, he kept me on the straight and narrow. I am not sure who I would today without him and the big caring heart of Kor. I loved that man like he was my family, he will always live within my heart. I miss him so much. I would like to pass on my deepest sympathies to all of you and all his friends. It was an honour and a privilege to work with him and for him. Shawn Williams

So sorry to hear of your loss Karen. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your boys.
Karen and boys, Sorry to hear of Kor’s sudden passing, it is a shock for sure. I hope the many wonderful messages posted online (Cobourg yesteryears site) are comfort in knowing the community shares in your loss and are sending you all much love. Dad shared many wonderful years playing alongside Kor in the men’s slowpitch league and wanted to acknowledge his passing. Skeeter Moonie
We were so shocked to hear of Kor’s sudden passing. A truly sad loss for family, friends and the community. May God give you comfort and peace in the coming days. Blessings to all of you. He will be missed.
I would like to extend my sincere sympathy to Karen and her sons. I never met Kor, but we were friends on FB. I so enjoyed all of his fabulous pics and many posts about our towns history. He always had a kind comment on many of my posts. Yesterday when I read the tragic news I was so sad to think I never had the opportunity to meet him in person and get to know him. I hope you all find comfort in reading all the heartfelt comments on Cobourg Yesteryears, he was so well liked and respected. Sincerely, Marcy Whelan

So sad to hear about Kors passing, it's been awhile since I've seen Kor. I was on his Baseball team for 12 years and enjoyed playing with Kor. He was also our Coach. Kor will be missed, he was full of Historical Knowledge of Cobourg and surrounding area Northumberland. To Kors Family our condolences, may Kor Rest in peace.
