Stone Family,

I only knew Gary a few short years but he was a true friend. We had a few memorable trips to Las Vegas. As much as he liked to have fun, his family was first. Knowing Gary was knowing his family. I've heard a million stories about his children, grandchildren and siblings. Whenever we spoke he always asked first about my wife and kids. He was a kind soul. I regret I can't attend his services and meet you all, but I will always remember Gary in my prayers. RIP Stoney
