Hi My name is April and Dick Stone was my dad. I found this site after I Googled my father. I felt the need to inform those that knew him that he past away on May 4th, 2013. My husband had plans to go over to his place Saturday night and felt inclined to go over early. He found him in his chair. He looked as though he was sleeping. Dad knew he wasn't going to be around much longer but I refused to hear it. I wasn't ready for him to leave. The past couple of weeks have been so hard. I still can't process that he is gone. I am still going through his things and have found newspaper clippings from his jumping days and some other letters in his own words of how he got started, pictures, etc. I would like to scan them and send them to the admin sometime to add to his page here as I see there isn't much on it. It just may take me a little while to get the info to you.
I posted a link to his obituary.
