Arthur Leo "Skip" Stone

The world is a little less bright without you Art. You were straightforward and always on top of things. Never a dull moment with you. But most of all, you were a true friend. Words cannot convey your loss.

Art,

We met at Huddy PArk at one of my shows, again at Burlington and Trenton. I remember sending you pictures and info of the men of the 13th buried here in Marietta, GA. Art, you were a true friend and helped with your ideas. we shall meet again on the final muster, remember Capt. Middleton of the 9th NJ, we will meet again with all of the Blue and Gray. God Bless and may you rest in peace in the arms of our Lord and Savior.

There's a gap in the line that will never be filled. Everyone in reenacting who knew him admired his superb artistry. Art did more than just create uniforms and accouterments, he came closer than anyone I've seen to adopting the posture and body-language of the era. Art was like a great actor creating his favorite role. So very sorry for his family. God Keep you all.

Great man, a hearty laugh, great insight and a touch of wisdom were sure to accompany Art to any event. He was a voice of calm and sanity in every instance and will be sorely missed. God bless him and his family in this hour of loss.
God help anyone who has to fill the gap left in our lines by his absence.

Hey Art I'm really going to miss sitting around the campfire with you playing on the quitar and the rest of us trying to sing along. I so admired your talent for music, sewing, drawing, cooking and tattooing. Wow, what couldn't you do.
I'll also remember the many times you called the house to talk to Brian and spent awhile talking to me also. I know you felt I was a friend also, not just another reenactors wife. You always gave me a big hug when I saw you and I'll dearly miss that your not here anymore. I pray that your soul is with the Lord and the boys of the blue and gray. You definitely served them well.

Art you are like a brother to me. I know you are on the other side resting in the shade of a tree on a hot summer day, just as we often did together for the shelter from the heat of the sun. We have been welded together by that heat which forged a lasting friendship that I shall never leave behind. You may be gone, but you are not foregotten. Your creativity and honesty will live on forever. You have touched so many lives in such a real and positive way to so many people you may never know. You are forever hardcore to the core. I love you brother, it is hard to believe you are gone, I will see you on the boulders of Devils Den and the woods of Gettysburg. I will honor you, as you have honored so many. May God bless you! Until we meet again.

Still shocked you're gone. Will always remember you....Jr. High, High School and reconnected through FB. A caring, artistic, historic and loving man. Rest in peace my friend.

Our deepest sympathy to the whole family. We only knew you for a short time, but will miss you very much. Peg & Bill Herberich

I can still hear you laugh, Art. I went out to the 13th's monument today and left a card telling the men of the 13th to welcome you.
