Stoney enjoyed nothing more than spending time with family. He loved coaching little league, playing sports, fishing, playing poker with friends, and watching the Cardinals. He was a great son, husband, Dad, Gampy, uncle, and friend.
We were so lucky to have the best for us. You were our rock, our compass, we will keep your memory alive, until we meet again. Thank you for being the "goat" for us.
