The Rev. Dr. Edwin Witte Stock passed away peacefully due to heart failure on November 2, 2019. Stock graduated from Union Theological Seminary (now Union Presbyterian Seminary) with a Master of Divinity degree in 1962. Stock retired as Senior Pastor for First Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, North Carolina, after serving from 1988-2002. Because of his love for the seminary, he remained a strong and active supporter of the seminary throughout his life. As an active member, Stock played an important role in organizing the regular meetings of The Conclave – an Alumni Group started by Professor Jim Mays in the early 1960s for study and fellowship. And he worked for the seminary’s development office for several years.
A memorial service will be held November 16 at 2 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church in Raleigh, NC.
