We had our ups and downs but Stoney was a good man…a special friendship I will always hold dear to me. I know how difficult this time must be for you and you are in my thoughts and prayers.
As a past homecare provider for Mr. Stone, I will never forget the many memories that he shared with me. My heart goes out to his family he so dearly loved.
I was one of Richards nurses. Have many lovely memories of him. I enjoyed his pearls of wisdom which he shared with me as we ate breakfast together. Sincere condolences to his family who he loved dearly. My prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
What good memories we have of Richard – or Stoney as we knew him, and of the Stone family. Please be aware of our sincerest sympathy – and please be in touch via email. With our love and prayers – Walter and Lois Winger
As friends from the Carlisle Brethren in Christ Church we express to you and your family our sincere sympathy. Our prayers are with you in this time of sorrow.
One of the nicest,gentle,hardworking people I’ve ever met. Being the father of my best friend Tanya, he and his wife Dorothy always made me feel like one of their daughters. I knew I could always look forward to a Christmas card. I will miss you Mr.S.
