Stone, TomAllegany, NY-Thomas E. “Tom” Stone, 60, of Five Mile Rd. passed away peacefully on Sunday (April 12, 2015), surrounded by his loving family, after a courageous fight against pancreatic cancer.

Tom was a 1972 graduate of Randolph Central School.

He could build anything, and he loved sharing his talents and time with family and friends—always helping with projects and performing them unselfishly and with exactness and pride.

Tom was a kind and loving husband, who cherished his loving wife, Linda.  He was a devoted son, supportive brother, loving grandfather, and great friend. Tom was a blessed gift and will leave us all with a hole in our hearts.
