We have just been informed of Mr. Stone's death and we are so sorry that we did not have a chance to say our last goodbyes. Mr. Stone was an outstanding role model and a Christian who cared for others and the church. Those of us who knew him had our lives enriched. When Stan got sick, Mr Stone had his caretaker to bring him for a visit. He was always thinking of others. We will surely miss him.

Uncle Alfred will be remembered for so many things. His commitment to family, friends, education, and his zest for life. There was never a dull moment with Uncle Alfred. He knew how to "shake-it-up" and have fun! I will miss him...He will live in our hearts forever.

"Mr. Centenary" is resting peacefully now. We are certainly saddened by this loss and Mr. Stone will truly be missed around Centenary. He loved his church and church family. "Well done, good and faithful servant".
