Stoner took a job at a deli in Hertel. He worked long hours for little pay in order to support his family and keep himself away from the temptation of drugs. Within six months, he was shaking the hand of Judge Kenneth Kutz and accepting his diploma from drug court.
“I looked around at my family, my kids, and thought—this is what I’ve missed for the past 28 years: being part of a family.”
