Edwin Harrison "Harrison" Stone

Harrison was a great friend of our family! I remember many a Gibson Island Summer Cruise ending in a cockpit serenade from Harrison and his Clarinet. This is a terrific loss and I wish Barbara, Harrison and Tommy all our best!

Rick and I are so sorry to learn about Harrison. We remember the twinkle in his eye, lovely disposition and good sense of humor. Rick & Barbara McMillan

What a wonderful man! I am so happy for the many years of friendship. I loved hearing him play his saxophone or clarinet when on the boat. His beautiful music echoed through the mooring field. Most folks thought it was coming from one of the houses along Skippers Row, to only find out it was Harrison Stone playing while on his boat "Caroline"

So many great stories, GIYS cruises, playing his clarinet with my younger brother Pat ( and on Tuesday nights at the Old Mill tavern on Harford road (or was it Belair)), dear friend of my parents, his kids playing in the pool when I was a lifeguard.... Boat life all summer, every summer!

So sorry to gear this news. Some of my favorite sailing memories included Harrison and his family. Cruising on the Chesapeake and in New England, recounting the experiences of the day on the water over dinner, and hearing Harrison play his clarinet across the anchorage as we settled in for the night. He greeted everyone with a smile and a personalized story, and would do anything to help a friend in need. He will be missed.

Blessings to your family
He will be remembered as a great gentleman and fabulous sailor!
