Gregory C Stone

Gregory C. Stone, 75, passed away peacefully at his home with his family by his side, on September 24, 2025. Greg was born February 2, 1950 to Forrest and Gwendolyn (Cook) Stone, the oldest of their three beloved sons. He was a lifelong resident of Francesville, Indiana. On November 20, 1976, Greg married Karen (Will) Stone of San Pierre, Indiana. During their 48 years of marriage, Greg and Karen welcomed two children, their son Nathaniel and their daughter Angela. Into their retirement years, they welcomed their grandson Maxwell. Greg was a graduate of the newly minted West Central High School, but remained a Francesville High School Zebra at heart. He attended some college and soon decided he wanted to be a truck driver. Greg saw most of the country from his semi truck and developed an extraordinary talent for memorizing geography. Greg was also a farmer, and served as council member and later as town council president for the Town of Francesville. He then went on to be the town’s water superintendent until his retirement. He served on the Salem Township advisory board until his death. Greg enjoyed time on the lake, either behind a fishing pole or behind the wheel of a speed boat with friends and family. He enjoyed golfing and watching his friends race cars. Greg was a member of the United Methodist Church. He was a member of the Lions Club for many years. In their retirement, Greg and Karen also volunteered with the Starke/Pulaski Habitat for Humanity. He always had a story to tell. His sense of humor and wisdom will be missed by his dear friends. Greg is survived by his wife Karen Stone, son Nathaniel (Kristin Kemper) Stone, daughter Angela (Kevin) Todd and grandson Maxwell Todd. He is also survived by his brothers Gary (Trudy) Stone, Mike (Lisa) Stone, his in-laws Kathy Nielsen, Tom (Connie) Will, and many nieces and nephews. Donations in memory of Greg can be made to the Starke/Pulaski Habitat for Humanity or to Karen Stone to carry out his remaining wishes for the Francesville park fountain they worked on together. Visitation will be from 3pm until 6pm EST (2pm to 5pm CDT) on Saturday, September 27, 2025 at O’Donnell Funeral Home in North Judson, Indiana.
