Thomas Craig Stone

Thomas Craig Stone, (a.k.a. Stoney), left us too soon at age 62, on Jan.1, 2015. Our loss was the gain of Heaven's own softball league as they added one hell of a good infielder. 

Tommy was preceded in death by his parents, Norman Stone and Marjorie Stone in 2008. He is survived by his two daughters, Angeline and Taylor, both of Richland, Wash. He is also survived by his only sibling, brother, Bob, along with his wife Debbie; niece, Meredith and nephew Garrett; aunt's and uncle's Rex and Julie Underwood, Mennet Cotton, Ruth Glaser and several cousins.

Tommy grew up in Cheney where he graduated from Cheney High School in 1970. He then attended Eastern Washington University where he lettered in swimming and diving. He graduated in 1975 with a bachelors degree in geography. He soon returned to EWU and earned a second degree in occupational safety. It was this second degree that led Tommy on his career journey through a series of jobsites and industrial plants all across the Northwest. In 2006 he retired from Boeing and moved back to Cheney.  

We will be having a remembrance of Tommy's life, Saturday, April 25, at 2 p.m. The service will be held at Cheney Funeral Chapel, 1632 W. First St. For information call (509) 235-2992 or  (509) 218-2473. Donations may be made to Hospice of Spokane or any local softball league. Sign the online guestbook at cheneyfuneral.com.
