Walter C. Stone, Jr., 101, of West Yarmouth, formerly of South Dennis, passed away Thursday, July 14, 2016. He was the husband of the late Eva (Myers) Stone.

Born in Sudbury, on Veteran’s Day 1914, Walter was the 5th of Harriet (Sawin) and Walter Stone Sr.’s seven children. He married his high school sweetheart, Eva, in 1937 and together they raised 3 sons and a daughter, enjoying 68 years of marriage. Walter was manager of H.P. Hood company for over 20 years; interrupted only when he served in the Naval Air Corp during WWII. When he returned from the Philippines, he became lead manager overseeing 5 “Colstone” restaurants in the Boston Area, and in 1957, he purchased the Cambridge location, renaming it “Stone’s Restaurant”.

He and Eva retired to South Dennis in 1973, where they enjoyed the next 32 years traveling, gardening and enjoying family, until his Eva passed in 2005. Walter brought love to all he met and at 101.8 years old, he leaves us with a lifetime of stories and wonderful memories.

Walter is survived by his sons, Norman, Walter III, David and his daughter, Debra; his entire family, including 15 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren and 3 great-great grandchildren along with many nieces and nephews, are sure to smile as they recall the stories of his life.
