“If a person’s child loves him, he is a success. If many love him, he is the wealthiest man on earth. Do not grieve for him when he is gone but rejoice that he was here.” – Jerold W. Stone Sr.
Simple men, do simple things. He served his country, Armed Forces (December 1965 to December 1967), He served his family, and He served his friends and those acquaintances that became friends. He had a deep love and appreciation for the outdoors. He created delightful memories for his children, grandchildren, family and friends by sharing his love of fishing, boating, hunting, camping, float trips, family vacations, helping others and drinking beer. He was a success and extremely wealthy.
