Gordon Stone Obituary
Known to his family and friends as "Don," he is the son of the late Gordon P. Stone and Virginia F. Burton. Don graduated from the University of Montevallo, located in Montevallo, Alabama. Don worked in sales for over 35 years for Liberty Mutual Insurance Company, primarily in its Norfolk, Virginia office.
Don's survivors include his loving and devoted wife of 58 years, Kay S. Stone, his sons, Gordon P. Stone III ("Trey") and M. Brett Stone, his son-in-law, Christopher James Davis, his daughter-in-law, Amy Donlin Stone, his granddaughters, Georgia Kay Stone and Charlotte Elise Stone, and his sisters, Barbara Stone Roach and Danita Kubik.
A celebration of Don's life will be held at 2:00 pm, Saturday, April 8, 2023, in the Great Chapel of Oman Funeral Home, 653 Cedar Road, Chesapeake, Virginia. Known as one who rarely attended social events, this celebration is one Don will not miss!

My first week on the job with Liberty. I get called into Don's office to talk about Crane safety. He asked if I was up on this and I told him, yes. They're a member of the Heron family....He busted out laughing. I will never forget listening to him laugh in his office when speaking with clients. A great man and the best salesman I have known. Smooth sailing Don!!!

Dear Kay and family.I also sorry to hear of Don's passing. You have my most sincere condolence. As the claims manager for Liberty I worked with Don for 20 plus years. He was by far the most successful sales manager for the Norfolk office. Joe polasko

Dearest Kay and family, I am so sorry for your loss. What I know most about Don is how much he loved and cherished you and his family. The wonderful pictures that Amy has shared tells that story especially. But what I want to tell is something you wrote about Don back when you were Teacher of the Year 1997 (at least I think that's when I heard about it). It's how he once spelled out " I Love You" when he cut the grass. So sweet and funny! I will never forget that!
I can't even imagine how you all are feeling, but please know that there are many, many people that care. Love always, Debbie Baxter
