Hi Kelly,
So sorry we did not get to sit together and share some moments and reflect upon Stony’s life. I expect when we do, many of the things you saw in him, the things that drew you to him, will be the same things that kept Stony and I together through all the decades of friendship that we shared with each other.
There is a hole in me that will never be filled or do I want it to be. I want to remember my friend the way he was for the remainder of my life until we reunite again.
It was a privilege to grow up with Terry and be close to the family. Terry was my brother and will always be. You will always be my family.
(Class of 69)

We were so sorry to hear of the passing of "Stoney" My son talks about him all the time and has lost a very great friend. Their friendship was more than one just at work, it was one that will be remembered forever. The drive out on the van to work will never be the same.
All my boys have met Stoney and immediately felt the bonds of friendship. He was a great man.
May the lord bless you and hold you tight in his love and embrace. If we can do anything, please let us know. Steven will always be in touch. Love, Steven Kyle Inselsberger's family.

Kelly & Family,
We're in need of a good plan because we're going to be lost for a long time without Stoney. I can hear his response to this in my head and I know he'd just tell us to get on with it, but he sure played a huge role in all of our lives. I've known Stoney as long as I've known Ted and he always felt like family and I loved him like family. I'm going to miss his sly grin, his quiet demeanor and the sweet smell of pipe tobacco. I'll miss his stories even though half the time I couldn't hear him, I just liked to listen and share space his space. I know we'll all see him again if we believe and if we live our life as HE would have us, but it sure hurts now. Stoney brought you in to our family and that's where you'll stay. Lean on us and all your other family and friends and somehow we'll dig our way to the surface and see the sun shine again. We'll have a drink-to at the property when the grass is green and share all our good memories. This can't come soon enough. I love you and yours.

I worked at Deseret for 30 years and I was always happy to see Stoney at the gate. I went through High School with his younger brother Kevin And at that time I only knew Terry from when I would go to visit Kevin. While at the depot I would ask Terry about his brother and it was very evident that he was very proud of Kevin. I'm sure that he will be missed not only by his family but by the entire depot and community.

To all Stoney's family our prayers and condolenses. I worked with Stoney for well over twenty years at the Depot and served about fifteen years with him in the National Guard at Lehi. I will sorely miss him. He was a great friend and a good man. His laid back manner was a great help to me. I loved to talk with him, his unique sense of humor will always be what I remember most of him. Although there is a certain statement that he made that will live with me forever. He was moving slowly down the hallway at work one day (Stoney was never in a hurry), a little frustrated too get past him, I asked him why he moved so slow. He told me simply that he was "pacing himself", he didn't really have "any place he wanted to be, so why hurry to get there". Yes, I will miss him. See you later Stoney.

Stony was always fun in school. We had some good times and it was great to see him at the last reunion. He was always up and a delight to be around. We will miss him.

Stonie has been at every one of our family events as long as I can remember. He is considered family and this is a sore loss. At the Deer Hunt he was always so helpful with anything we needed and so Thankful for all we did for him. The last time I saw him he stood up and gave me a huge bear hug as I was leaving. That is what I will remember. He is a "great" big brother along with my brother Ted. Kelli, Teresa, Kevin and Louis I am sorry for your loss and we are praying for you at this time.

I pray that as time passes your pain will lessen and the memories will grow stronger. Kelly, I'm here for you whenever you need a friend and know that you are in my thoughts.
