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

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 check in on your mom. She is going to miss her partner of nearly 45 years. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

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.

I was very fortunate to garden with Stone in our community garden. We always had fun talking food or plants! Sitting in the grape arbor with Stone was something to look forward to when we happened to be in the garden the same day.
