(Garrity) Stone, with whom he would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in December. Dick was the son of the late Eugene V. and Wilma R. (Parker) Stone and grew up in Salt Lake City, UT.

Together they moved to Lancaster in 1971 to open the Lancaster Health Spa at the Park City Mall, and have lived in the Lancaster and Millersville areas ever since. He enjoyed playing the piano, speaking Spanish, and reading, especially A Course in Miracles, which he read many times.
