It is with sadness that I must report the passing of my dear friend Bill Stone after a long battle with cancer. A quiet and gentle man, he was well-known on the international circuit as a nature guide and locally, as he contributed significantly to the chronicling of the wildlife of the Rice Lake area. I will think of Bill each spring - he used to call me every April so I could be the first to hear "his" purple martins as they returned his martin houses at Rice Lake.
Service will be held on March 5th, 2 p.m. Bailieboro. If you require additional details, pls email me privately.
