H. Kenneth Stone
H. Kenneth
Stone, 92, of Riverview NB, passed away peacefully at his
son’s home on Sunday April 1, 2018, surrounded by his
family.
Born in
Oxford Junction, NS, he was the son of the late Minor and Lena (Tait)
Stone.
Ken was a
retired Supervisor of Signal Construction, CNR, with 43 years of
service. He has been a faithful member of St.
George’s Anglican Church for over 45 years. A
Veteran of WWII, he served as a Provo Officer in Canada with the Royal
Canadian Army. He was a Brother of the Masonic Lodge for close to 68
years with his mother lodge in Bedford # 104 A.F. & AM, and
affiliated lodge Acacia # 49, F & AM in Moncton. He was also a
member of the Scottish Rite Valley of Moncton Lodge of Perfection,
Britton Chapter Rose Croix, NB Sovereign Consistory, Luxor Shrine
Temple, Saint John, and the Moncton Shrine Club. He was a member of
the Riverview Armed Forces & Vets Association, The Moncton
Legion Branch #6, CN Pensioners Association, NB Seniors Federation and
the NB Wildlife
Federation.
Ken enjoyed
many years with the Buckskinners Muzzle Loading Association, where he
travelled to competitive shoots honing his skills, winning a few
prizes, but especially enjoying the social time with friends.
He also enjoyed years of bowling and became well known for
all his chocolate treats that he shared. His salesmanship
skills were always sharp, as he never failed to have tickets or
calendars supporting the Shiners Hospitals. His woodworking
talents have been enjoyed by many. He was a faithful friend, very
proud of his family and respectful to all whom he
met.
Ken will be
sadly missed by his dear friend Madeline Carter, son Barry (Michelle)
of Shubenacadie NS, grandchildren Zachary (Tiffany) and Barbara
(Derek); sister-in-law, Joy Hodder; several nieces and nephews, and
many friends.
In addition
to his parents, he was predeceased by his wife, Josephine (Rafter)
Stone (2010); sisters, Ethel Elmers, Illa Mailman, Leona MacDonald,
Olive Dill and brother Layton.
