Robert "Bob" Paul Stone

STONE,  Robert (Bob) Paul

Passed away at Pleasant Meadow Manor, Norwood, on May 4, 2018 at the age of 70.  Beloved husband of 48 years of Judy (nee Hastings).  “Bobber” will be sadly missed by his children Krista Thomas and her husband Dave, Jeremy and his partner Meaghan, and Jeff.  Predeceased by his son Michael.  Proud grandfather of Jared.  Bob will also be missed by his sisters Elaine (Booth), Evelyn (Allin), brother-in-law Gene Bolton (Diane predeceased), and nieces and nephews. Bob, son of John and Florence Stone, grew up on a farm in Burleigh Falls.  Because of his love of agriculture and the outdoors, Bob pursued a degree in Agricultural Engineering at the University of Guelph, where he met his wife Judy.  After graduating, Bob’s long career with OMAFRA began in Essex and continued in Brighton, where he retired 40 years later.  Bob was a true engineer, discussing measurements and checking for accuracy until his final days. Bob enjoyed spending time outdoors in the woods, where he cleared many trails at his property in Brighton with his dog Jessie.  He also enjoyed an ale or two while watching the Leafs of Jays games with his family. Special thanks to the staff at Pleasant Meadow Manor for keeping Bobber in line, as well as their care and compassion. Following Bob’s wishes, there will be no funeral.  Donations can be made in memory of Bob to the Parkinson’s Society or the Alzheimer’s Society.
