Robert Stone Obituary
morning hours of March 22, 2026, with his brother by his side.
Bob was born in New York City in 1952 and spent his entire life on Long Island before
moving to Ashland in June 2025 to be close to his family. He was the son of Clifford
Stone and Josianne Mathieu of East Hampton, Long Island. After graduating from John
F. Kennedy High School in Bellmore, New York, in 1970, Bob attended Bradley
University in Peoria, Illinois.
In 1984, Bob married that cute office girl Mona Healy. He was a skilled tool and die
maker, having dedicated his career to designing and manufacturing precision parts for
medical and printing equipment until his retirement in 2020.
A lover of the great outdoors, Bob found joy in hiking, sailing, fishing, and building
model boats. His green thumb flourished in his gardening pursuits. An avid music
enthusiast, he loved playing his guitar and was a voracious reader, with interests
spanning history, literature, science, technology, and nature.
Bob's memory will be cherished by his beloved wife, Mona, and his daughters: Jenine
Faulkner of Ohio, Amanda Murphy (Gary), South Carolina, and Tom Healy (Crissy)
Phoenix, Arizona. He is also survived by his brother Steve (Marilyn) of Ashland, sister
Gigi Stone (partner Mark Brunger), Ashland, and grandchildren Kathryn Faulkner,
Michael Faulkner, Amber Murphy, and Holly Murphy. Additionally, he leaves behind
nephews Philip Stone (Dakota) of Port Clinton and Lucas Stone (Sarah) of Spencer,
several cousins in East Hampton NY, Connecticut, and Florida, his best friend Ted
Stasiak of Florida, and his cherished furry companion, Sophie.
Bob was preceded in death by his parents.
The family will gather in the near future to celebrate Bob's life and the memories he has
left behind. He will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
