In Memory of

Condolences

Condolence From: Rex Kean
Condolence: Gil was an inspiring educational figure in my upbringing. I believe he provided a remarkable learning environment for me, and indeed, for all students. We had opportunities at our school that was the envy of most rural schools in Newfoundland (and probably rural schools countrywide). Gil understood the big picture better than most, allocating support and funding for the arts. He fostered programming that is unheard of in todays mediocre school system. Opportunities to experiment and take risks flourished for every student in visual arts, musical theatre, instrumental band, rock band, choral, dance etc. Wow. How lucky we were to grow up and have such caring leadership in Gilbert. To Sheldon and family, please accept our deepest sympathies, but know that Gil made an indelible mark on my life and for that, thank you very much Mr. Stone. You will be missed by me. Kindest regards, Rex, Nadine & Adison

Condolence: To the Stone family. Saddened to hear of Mr. Stone’s passing but grateful for his enormous contribution and influence as my cub leader, biology teacher and school principal. When I started my teaching career, he told me to always be prepared for class and to be always mindful of an individual student’s life circumstance when having to discipline. Sincere condolences and sorry for your loss.

Condolence From: Geraldine Blackmore
Condolence: I was so shocked and saddened to hear of Gil’s death. Quite a few years ago when I worked at the school in Glovertown, I had the privilege of working as school secretary for Gil. I couldn’t have worked for a nicer person. A couple of years ago I ran into him at the mall. It was so good to see him again and to see that wonderful smile. My deepest condolences to the Stone family. May you hold your memories very close to your heart and may those and the love and support from family and friends, help you through the difficult days ahead.

Condolence From: Steven Feltham
Condolence: Mr. Stone will be deeply missed by all who knew him. I grew up with Bobby, while Mr. Stone was Principal of Glovertown High School. He and my Father Elijah Feltham had a working relationship in the late 1970's at Glovertown High School. Earlier this year at my Mothers visitation in March, Mr. Stone recently recounted his experience of those days and he told me how my Father took him under his wing, and helped him become acquainted with the School operations; he shared with me some wonderful memories of my Father. I would like to extend our deepest sympathies to Susan and the entire Stone Family during this difficult time. From our family to yours, we hope you feel surrounded by love as you remember Mr. Stone.

Condolence: Susan and family: We were shocked and saddened to hear of Gilbert's death. We realize, only too well, that there are no words to convey the depth of your grief, nor words to adequately express our own feelings. We just want you to know that we are thinking of you all at this difficult time. Such times bring back so many memories of great times we shared over the years - and while it's been almost thirty years since we left Glovertown, we still remember them, and you, fondly. May you find some comfort in wonderful memories, and some consolation in the presence and prayers of your many friends. May God bless you all. Blessings, Wayne and Hertha
