On September 14, 2011, MICHAEL JOEL STONE age 53, passed from this world at his home on his beloved McMann Road. Mike was born on December 15, 1957, the first born son of James Stone and Peggy Brooks. Mike was an avid sportsman and woodsman, working many years in logging and heavy equipment operations. He loved the outdoors, four wheeling and fishing. He loved his children, family and friends. He was also an avid historian and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with others. Mike was well known for his honesty, hunting expertise, being a good friend to all and helping anyone in need. In the rare event that someone irritated him, his philosophy was "He's o.k., as long as he doesn't come here." Michael was the Gate Keeper for the McMann Road, watching out for his many dear friends here. His dog "Girl" was jokingly referred to as the "Toll Troll" by Scott McMann because she wouldn't move out of the road unless she got food. Mike was predeceased in death by his father and a younger brother Jeremy Stone. Mike is survived by his mother, his son Travis York of Locke Mills, Maine; his daughter Kim Savoie of Stratford; his half-sister Jana Whitney of Lancaster; his brothers David of Stratford and Florida; Brian and wife Tammy of Bloomfield, Vermont and Bradley of Stratford; his Uncle Sam Stone of Stratford, a special niece Manda of Stratford and Florida; his beloved dog "Girl" and several nieces, nephews, cousins and many special friends. A private viewing for family was held on Saturday, September 17th at the Armstrong-Charron Funeral Home in Groveton. On Saturday September 24th at 12:00 noon, there will be a Celebration of Mike's Life at Guy Young's garage on McMann Road. In lieu of flowers one may donate to a charity of one's choice.
