Dad it’s been exciting year for the Stone Family. I have 4 grandchildren on my side of this ever growing family. Lia,Bodi,Wilder & Conner. I’m so grateful to have them so close to me and we see each other often. Carolyn is traveling this week to Florida but doing with Pele watching over her and your dogies. Mari is turning 65 tomorrow and Mom is turning 83 next week. We have shut down in Hawaii to keep safe from a New virus but all is well. I think of you always and trust you are connected to Randy, your Mom, Sister, Brother and all your loved ones. Love your Son Jeff

I carry you with me in my heart always.

Happy birthday my beloved Grandpa!! Not a day goes by where we don’t talk about you and miss your presence. Kainalu is getting ready to start baseball again and he’s so excited. I know you’ll be with him in spirit. Our newest baby boy is a little bruiser too and you would love him. We are so proud to be your legacy here on earth and we can’t wait to see you when we get home to heaven. I love you with all my heart!!! Kris

Aloha Pops,
I think of you often and miss you and our talks, sitting with you and watching movies and sports, golf carting to the beach to watch sunsets, eating sweets, and how you made me always laugh and smile. I still hear you saying how ya doin' "tiger" and your contagious laugh.
I miss seeing and visiting you ....the other day I was reading an article and you came to mind. I came across an article that spoke about the Greeks and how they never wrote obituaries they simply just asked one question did he have passion?
You came to mind because when I reflect you are a true example of passion.
Through your life example I realize passion doesn't come to you like a flash flood but I realize through you and the lives you have touched that
passion develops slowly and purposefully. That when you take time to breathe and find and consider life's activities and people that have meaning to you .... passion is discovered and passion doesn't seek you out it is instead a commitment to something personally meaningful.
I thank you so much for your words of wisdom, encouragement and for having such passion in believing in all of us. YOU Have Passion
I miss you
love you
Yvonne

Dad I wanted to let you know Sean and Lichelle had a baby Girl Lia last month plus Chynna & Burkley had a baby boy Bodi this month! I'm now like you a double Papa!!! I'm also excited to share with you I'm in Scotland in the homeland of your favorite single malt Glen Levit! You've been on my mind as we've seen so many Pheasant's and they have a shooting club nearby. I love our memories of hunting and me chasing your birds (we never had a dog) but I love those moments.

Happy 86th Birthday Dad! We miss you and love you each and every Day. Tonight I had dinner with Sean, Chynna, Burkley and Lichelle at Chy's new home. They gave me a scuplter of a man holding a Stone up in the air. It's so reminded me of our family. Also it is the Year of the Fire Rooster and I was given a special Rooster Pen to sign deals with and an incredible painting. We will all have you in our hearts today on our Bithday. I visit your home with Kim to have Brunch with Carolyn, Pele & Mom. You would be happy to know we are sending Pele in your honor to True North to lose weight and Kris just got back from Cambodia from opening your Boys Home!!! So excited for both your great grandchilden coming in March and April! Love Jeff

Dad I saw this play in NY about a father raising his son who turned out to be gay. It was so emotional and I started to remember so many things about our childhood. You always tried to make both Randy and physically strong so we could be men. Randy was always way more fragile and way more talented! Please give Randy all your love in Heaven and let him know how incredibly talented he was. So missed but so loved!!!

Love You Uncle Richard
June 17, 2015
Uncle Richard, You will be forever missed. Every memory I have with you is a happy one. It all started back when you visited us in Florida. You and Aunt Carolyn had recently gotten married. You brought us the coolest new thing in Hawaii, the fad hadn’t even hit the states yet-Pogs! My brother and I played with them for hours on end and already had a huge supply and won major cool points with all our friends when they became popular in our parts. =)
After that I remember visiting you guys frequently. Many summers in Utah, sitting out in the sun room watching movies (mostly Shirley Temple), roasting marshmallows over an open fire, playing truth or lie- which you were oh so good at and would fool me and Nathan every time, fishing, hiking, Mount Timpanogos, getting a lollipop at the top of the 3 Bears Trail, I even secretly loved how you called me Pocohantas all summer long after I accidentally called Joseph Smith, John Smith. Skiing all winter and our occasional run in with Bobby aka “Robert Redford.” One of my favorite memories was ringing in the New Year in Utah. Right before midnight it started to snow and we all dressed up in crazy hats and scarves and ran outside to catch snowflakes on our tongue and ring in the New Year. A tradition that stuck and still to this day on New Years Eve our family puts on funny hats and accessories.
Then you moved back to Hawaii and I have amazing memories of games, long talks, hula dancing in Kauai, Roys, collecting golf balls, walks on the beach, and my first ride in a jet (compliments of Jeff). If Uncle Stoney was around a good time was to be had. He had a contagious laughter, the most amazing stories- filled with adventure, and great wisdom. He had a full life. He was loved by many and will be missed greatly. However I’m happy and find comfort in knowing that he is with our Lord and Savior and is experiencing life more glorious than anything Earth has to offer or we can even imagine. I love you Uncle Richard and can’t wait to see you again.
