Wesley Beard STONE DDS

Looking for an address to send a Christmas card, I came across this notice.....Shock.....sadness....We can only say .... "OUR FAMILY LOVED DR STONE AND CORA"!!! So loving, so generous, so capable as couple and dentist. We have told the story many, many times of how they brought Kelley into their lives and enriched all of us with their love. You have been missed, Dr Stone, and will continue to live on in our hearts. Cora - we send you, Kelley, Allison, and Bryce our sincere condolences.

Peace to all the family. Just recently learned of Dr.Stone’s passing from the Whitman College magazine. I loved going to the dentist while living in Spokane and hearing all his fun stories about Whitman (I too attended Whitman). Blessed to have been a neighbor, patient & friend of his. His life touched so many with such joy and genuine care. He will be missed and remembered with love.

So sad to hear of Dr Stone’s passing. He was a wonderful dentist, so kindhearted. I loved the fact that my daughter Elena and I got Wesley and Cora together; he was so crazy about Cora, as she was him. Such a nice man. So sorry to all of Dr. Stone’s family.

I was privileged to have worked for Dr. Stone a few years, first at the 6th Ave med bldg and at Grand blvd. He a wonderful person and the best dentist ever. He had a way of putting you at ease and you actually looked forward to your dental appt. My love and sincere condolences to Cora, Kelly and all the family.

Dr. Stone was my dentist for over 40 years, from my childhood until he retired. My brother, Bill Small, and my parents (Robert and Eleanor Small) were also patients. Dr. Stone always expressed interest in what I was doing and asked about my family. After I retired from teaching biology at Rogers High School, I continued to substitute teach at Spokane high schools. I saw Kelly several times in her high school classes after Dr. Stone retired. She was an exceptional student and I have wondered...

One always came away with an uplifting experience when meeting Dr. Stone.
I don’t think he ever expressed a negative thought or word.
Always a giant smile and a friendly greeting.
He always wanted to know what was new in my life.
Whether it was attending a monotonous (for the parents) swim meet with us, or fixing our teeth, Dr. Stone offered up loving and thoughtful encouragement to all he encountered.
Dr. Stone will always be remembered kindly.

My family became patients of Dr. Stone in the early 1950s.
He was a strong supporter of the University of Washington
and the dental profession. Because of his enthusiasm I went
to the U.W. and also graduated in dentistry. I have always admired
his energy.
