Mr. Stone was a lifelong resident of the Ludlow community. He was born on August 18, 1935 to Henry Cline and Frankie Lee Stone. He was an active member of Ludlow Baptist Church. He worked at Eaton Aerospace Corporation for 47 years. He was best known by his coworkers as everybody’s favorite “Weather Man”.
Mr. Stone will always be remembered for his generosity, care and concern he showed to others. He spent the last 9 years of his retirement doing what he loved the most, such as gardening, watching his favorite college football teams with Uncle Dick, visiting people in need, and spending quality time with his family. He was a devoted husband, father, grandfather and friend to all. He has left a lasting legacy to his children and grandchildren that they will not soon forget. Our “Big Daddy” will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
