William Stone

Hello Mr. Lane,  

My name is Maxine Churchill and now live in Ontario since 1999.   I love going into the internet to view pictures of home and saving them on my screen saver at work.  Many people view these and are amazed at the scenery and beauty of our great province.   This morning, before really getting down to the nitty gritty of the days business I was viewing your site "Those Who Remembered - Remembrance Day 2001 in St. John's.  My heart went to my throat  and my eyes filled as I saw a picture of our late father on page 2, photo number 2PB103497.JPG.    Our father's name was William Stone and served very proudly as a gunner and a Sergeant with the 59th Heavy Regiment, 22nd Battery from 1939 - 1945. He was born, grew up, married, and raise his family of 4 in St. John's. In his later years he moved to Mount Pearl. This proud gentleman, passed away in June of 2002 at the age of 82 years 3 months, and our beloved mother passed away in 2000. These pictures which you have on your site were to be the last which were taken of him at a Remembrance Day Parade.    I will proudly display them on my screen saver and try to print them off as I don't any of dad at any of the Remembrance Day Parades.   Pictures of our father, William Stone, which appear on your site are as follows:   PUB 103497 JPG - page 2 PUB 103536 JPG - page 4

PUB 103579 JPG - page 5 (far left, 2nd row head bowed) PUB 103615 JPG - page 7 PUB 103616 JPG - page 7 (left, standing with comrades)   Again, thank you so very much for this site and I hope many people will take the time to view it as they are so very important to our history and future, and to the proud men, women who served our country and families of those who served as well.   Sincerely,   Maxine Churchill 112 Silurian Drive Guelph, ON    N1E 7G1   Children of William Stone  Ronald Stone (Mount Pearl, NL) Carol Stone (Kilbride, NL) Maxine Churchill (Guelph, ON) Grace Crane (Kilbride, NL)
