Eric Stone Obituary

Eric Dwight Stone, age 52, went home to be with the Lord unexpectedly at home on Monday, June 23rd. He is survived by his wife of 24 years, Barbara (Carroll) Stone, four daughters, Ashley, Sarah, Abi and Hannah, and one grandson, Hunter Keys. His father, Larry Stone, and mother, Eleanor Sturvist also mourn his loss. Eric had one brother, Larry Stone, Jr., two sisters, Elaine Stone Schwartz and Rachel Houpt, three uncles, many cousins, numerous nephews and nieces, and hundreds of friends. He had a gift with his hands that was unmatched. He truly could fix anything. He worked construction most of his life, owning two companies, Grid Masters and Four Gables Construction. He also owned Ace's Inn. His favorite pastimes were fishing and working on his cars. An avid motorcyclist, he owned his first Harley Davidson before he had a driver's license. More recently, however, his favorite way to spend an afternoon was mowing with his grandson. Hunter and Pap spent countless hours together on the tractor. He will be sorely missed by his Doberman, Indy, who was his constant companion. His immediate family takes comfort in knowing they will see him again in Heaven. Visitation will be Saturday, June 28, 2014 from 10am-12pm at New Buffalo Alliance Church, followed by services and a luncheon at 3352 Susquehanna Trail, Duncannon, PA. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your favorite charity.

Barb and girls, I've been thinking a lot about Eric this week and I remember numerous times when I was upset or uptight about something or maybe things weren't working out the way I wanted and he would say "relax" and then he would do what he could to help the situation. As all of us are upset about his passing, I just picture him saying "relax", and know in my heart that he is in a good place. We will truly miss him and will keep all of you in our prayers.
