Charles I. Stone (Stoney), of Lincoln, Delaware, peacefully passed away on October 6, 2024, in Milford, DE. Stoney was born on November 15, 1927, in Sugar Grove, VA. He was a kind and generous man throughout his life.

Stoney honorably served his country as a Corporal in the US Air Force and later channeled his experience into a fulfilling career at Boeing Vertol in Ridley Park, PA.
