Gordon Harry Stone went to be with Jesus on Saturday, December 27, 2025, at his home in Branson, MO at the age of 92.

He was born May 9, 1933, in Lake Forest, IL to Walter and Ellen Stone. In 1952 he met Norma Meyers in Cary, IL, and they were married in 1954. They had three sons; Ken, Bill and Dan, while living in Illinois.

Among his favorites though were being Santa Claus, Easter bunny and tooth fairy to his three boys!
