November 3, 1937 – May 8, 2020 Passed peacefully away at his home at Tiffany Village, John Stone aged 82.

Pre-deceased in 2017 by his loving wife Bonnie of 50 years; as well as brothers, Edward, Harry and Thomas. Also left to remember him with a lifetime of wonderful memories and stories, are his brothers Ronald (Audrey), Gerald (Brenda), Wayne (Dixie), and sisters Jean Cole, Elizabeth Walters and Deborah Duffett (Mike), along with sister in-law Claudia. Bonnie’s family: Doreen Coady and Dianne O’mara, Gerald Holwell (Barbara), Wayne Holwell (Daisy), sister in-law Anne Holwell, and Eileen St Croix (Lloyd White). Also left to remember, Sherry Shaddock and family (Hammonds Plains, NS) as well as many special nieces, nephews, relatives and devoted friends over many years. A special thank you to the staff of Tiffany Village who took good care of John in the last couple of years, and especially to niece Cathy Dornan (Robert) who has been incredible in helping to care for him and for always being there when needed. John was a good man, very kind and generous to people he encountere­d. A hard worker with Irving Oil for over 30 years, and for many years was a member of the Officers Mess and RCAF Club where he spent many a weekend socializin­g. He had lots of stories from backin-the-day, that never seemed to get old and he’d never tire of telling, when given the chance. An avid Bluejays fan, and Expos fan before that, John often travelled many summers to see live games in either city. This spring without baseball on TV was certainly tough for him to accept. In keeping with John’s wishes, Cremation has taken place and a Celebratio­n of Life will be planned in St. John’s at a date TBD. Donations in John’s memory can be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
