Not sure what to say?

I treasure all the cooking tips and the cheese cakes he use to make.
Stone was always willing to give.

As a native Philadelphian, I sat in my car as I listened to Jake speak of this beloved man with tears in my eyes. I only wish I had a father figure in my life with half the character of Mr. Stone. Thank you Jake for sharing the story of Mr. Stone with us. R.I.P. Mr. Stone

A tremendously warm tribute for Mr. Stone and I wish peace and comfort for your entire family, especially your mother. For me, you have made Mr. Stone's memory a blessing. Thank you, Jake! Rest in peace, Mr. Stone!

I, too heard your beautiful tribute to Mr. S. Stone, the loss your Mother and Family are experiencing in his passing and sharing what a special man he was throughout his life. Thank you for giving us all a small glimpse into the blessings he brought into your lives. Sending my deepest condolences to each of you. God will under gird each of you with His Strength, Grace, Peace, Power, Mercy and Love during this most difficult time. Sincerely, Patricia McWhirter

Jake, you, I have always thought of as a man of integrity and whatever you are saying (in the midst of the noise) I've always stopped to listen. So, at the end of your broadcast, I listened/watched how you eloquently paid tribute to Papa Stone. Thank you for taking the time to do so. Our deepest condolences to you and your family, especially your mom. (I lost my mom three months and two days ago and still trying to put one foot before the other.) I don't think I need to say this, but please...

On Sunday morning I listened to Jake Tapper ask for our permission to listen to him speak about Mr. Stone. I don't think we needed his permission. Instead for those of us that heard Mr. Tapper talking about Mr. Stone on the air we should consider it a privilege to have heard about Mr. Stone and his life. I felt so honored to be able to have caught Mr. Tapper's dedication to Mr. Stone and wish his family & Mr. Stone's family my deepest condolences.

Mr. Tapper I heard your beautiful tribute to Mr. Stone this morning on my way into work and I just want to express my sincere condolences to you , your mom , the grandkids and anyone else that loved him . Thank you for your service Mr. Stone and may you rest in eternal peace.

I just heard about your loss on CNN. My heart and condolences goes out to your mom, you and your family during this time. May you all experience the peace of God as you move forward.

Sounds like a very fine man. RIP.
