Thomas Stone
January 25, 1950 ~ April 4, 2015 (age 65) 65 Years OldMy deepest and heartfelt condolences to Fiona and family.
May God rest his soul in peace, and give strength to his family to bear this immense loss.
Tom was a very kind man, with a wry sense of humor that always caused us to chuckle for a few days after a particularly humorous comment. We appreciated his friendship and always enjoyed our conversations with him over the years at the dance studio. We will miss him and always have fond memories of time spent in his company. He was a true gentleman. Our heartfelt condolences to Fiona and the rest of his family. He truly was one of those rare, genuine people that you don't have the pleasure of meeting to often. Our prayers are with him.

We met Tom in the mid 70's when he walked into our cafe in Capitola, California looking for a job. Somehow he convinced us he could cook and that began a long association both in the restaurant and personally. After he had exhausted his talents in our cafe, he and Etan collaborated to build a small dinner house to showcase his real abilities. There he blossomed as a chef and put Theo's on the map as a destination dining establishment on the central coast. A few years later Tom became part of our family when he married Etan's cousin, Joan. The couple later moved back east, but unfortunately Joan developed breast cancer. Tom was there during her long ordeal and patiently and lovingly cared for her until her death.
In Santa Cruz Tom mentored many aspiring chefs and left many life long friends. We will remember him always with great affection. Our sincere condolences to Fiona who restored Tom and gave
him many years of joy.
I am truly sorry for your lost. During this most difficult time may God's word prove to be a source of hope and comfort for you. Please remember that God invites you to... throw all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 9:10, 83:18.
I have found comforting articles and videos on www.jw.org to help me cope with the loss of a loved one and I hope you will as well.
My condolences to Tom's family, his loving and dedicated wife Fiona, and all those who knew him and loved him.
I first met Tom in Santa Cruz, California in the late 70's when he was first establishng himself as a gourmet chef in the opening of a local world class restaurant. I was always enamored by his patience, focus, culinary talent and rye humor. Our friendship continued over the years even though we were separated often by miles. But we always stayed connected in spirit with similar interest sin the food and wine industries.
His talents included Culinary Arts, Food History, Music, plus all of the others already noted by his beloved friends.
Tom was gentle on the outside, but tough and resilient to his core. He was dealt more than his share of challenges in life and always came back stronger than ever. And he always had an optimism about life that was infectious to others around him.
He lived a full life for a man of his age and left all of us way too soon. The last time I spoke with him, he was already planning on what he was going to do when he was on his feet again.
I'm going to miss Tom immensely on many levels. But, in his passing, his spirit will live on in all of us and hopefully teach us something about our own character and how to be better human beings.
Rest in Peace, Tom, my dear friend...
