It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden peaceful passing of John Daniel Stone at home on Tuesday, April 2, 2014.
Born in Belle Isle, N.L., on Sept. 5, 1931, he was the son of the late William and Georgina (Styles) Stone.
He is survived by his wife, Martha (McCarthy); two stepdaughters, Valerie (Jay) Hollohan; Joanne (Ian) Cann, both of Sydney and three grandchildren, Taylor, Stephanie and Ryan. He is also survived by his brothers, Harry (Joyce), Billy (Stella), Angus (Mary), Eric (Betty), all of Ontario, Jim (Helen), Labrador; sisters, Margaret (Ed), Ontario and Theresa (Tom), Newfoundland. John has many nieces, nephews, in-laws, grandnieces and grandnephews who will miss him dearly, and he will be missed by all who knew him, especially the staff at Casino Nova Scotia.
He was predeceased by a sister Mary in childhood.
He lived most of his life in Georgetown, Ont., where he retired from Ford Canada and recently settled in Cape Breton. John was a quiet soul; a very easygoing man who liked simplicity. He was a long-standing member of the KOC (Newfoundland Ontario, Sydney). John was an avid reader and a stellar crossword person.
