Not sure what to say?

Mr. Stone is leaving behind grand memories with everyone he graced his presence with. I will remember him as a giant as I grew up in Wayne as well as working at Dukane for many years. The vision of Mr. Stone charging through the halls with a cheerful greeting is etched in my mind. I feel fortunate to have known him and his family. You are all in my prayers to carry on and live strong.

Cheryl,
I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. I remember him well as both family and employer. My heart and prayers are with you.

A man of great ability, class and dedication, and a man worthy of genuine admiration in a world where that has become increasingly rare. Jack Stone stood as an example of the very best in American business and his footprints will not be erased by the passage of time. He touched the lives of others and made those lives better for his being there.

One of my favorite "Tigers" He will be forever missed by all of us AND forever remembered with smiles and laughter and great stories.
Cheryl, my thoughts are with you and your family. You were so lucky to have loved such an incredible man.
We all love you.....

the entire Palewski family was very sad to hear of Jack's passing. Although it has been a long time, Robin and I have fond memories of Jack. Our hearts and prayers are with you all.

I've always had deep respect for Jack, and feel fortunate to have known him. For me his passing marks the end of an era. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Cheryl,
I'm so sorry to hear of Jack's passing. He will forever be a great memory for me having grown up in Wayne. I will remember how he would show sincere interest in what was going on in my life any time I saw him. Watching him on the tennis court, hearing his great laugh at the club as he enjoyed life, his compliments towards my wife and children...his memory will always have a warm spot in my heart. He is so much of what growing up in Wayne is all about, it was a great day when he...

Mr. Stone provided me with a fantastic 14 year career in the Sound and Communications industry. I have nothing but the upmost respect for this man. He trusted those he hired, and provided a fantastic opporunity for many in the Fox River Valley area. I will always remember him for his use of the word "Tiger", as I and many others were called that in lieu of our names. I know that Mr. Stone will be missed by his family, friends, and the community he so willingly served. Journey well Jack. ...

Cheryl, as you well know, Jack was among our "very favorite people." It is with great disappointment that Sharon and I will not be in St. Charles on either Friday or Saturday.
