He participated in many NBC Tournaments representing various teams, he was a member of Reflection Ridge Golf Club since 1989, officiated college basketball, and a member of the Midian Shrine. He had many friends and was a master at joke telling and the life of the party. He had a group of friends from high school through college; his group of golf buddies; and his Lake of the Ozark buddies. If you asked any of the group of friends they'd have great stories to tell. Also, there wasn't anything that he couldn't repair and his garage showed it.

He is survived by: his wife, Carolyn; son, Andrew (Veronica) Stone; and two granddaughters, Hope Stone and Faith Stone.
A private family service will take place.
