The Bakersfield Californian
Stone, William A.    
 
Justice William A. Stone 
Services: Fri., Feb. 3, 11:00 a.m. 

Justice William A. Stone died suddenly on Saturday evening, January 28, 2006 
at his home in Cayucos, California. Bill was born in Porterville on July 24, 
1939; his parents were Frederick and Edna Stone. He grew up in Visalia and 
graduated from Redwood High School in 1957. After receiving a degree in 
Political Science from Stanford University in 1961, he attended Stanford Law 
School. Upon graduating in 1964 he immediately began work as an attorney for 
the law firm of Mack, Bianco, and Means in Bakersfield. Bills career on the 
bench began in 1971 when he was appointed to the Municipal Court in 
Bakersfield. In 1977 the Governor appointed him to the Kern County Superior 
Court where he served until 1988. He concluded his career on the 5th District 
Court of Appeal in Fresno where he served until his retirement in 1999. Bill 
was a member of many professional organizations and served on numerous 
community boards. He especially enjoyed the many friendships he made as a 
member of Rotary International. He was the president of Bakersfield East 
Rotary Club in 1986. After retirement, Bill pursued his passion for travel by 
touring with his wife, and his passion for his Christian faith by 
participating in three missionary trips to the Ukraine. Bill is survived by 
his brother, John of Arizona; his wife, Diane; and his three sons: James of 
Sacramento, Jeff and his wife, May of Zaragoza, Spain, and Michael of Fort 
Hood, Texas. A very special little girl came into his life in 2004, when 
Marta, his only granddaughter was born. Bill will be remembered for his 
humility, his sincere love for his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his keen mind 
and sharp intellect, and his absolute loyalty to and adoration of his family. 
A memorial service celebration of Bills life will be conducted at the 
Evangelical Free Church of Fresno on Friday, February 3rd, at 11:00 a.m. 
Memorial gifts may be sent to the Fresno Rescue Mission, 310 G Street, Fresno, 
Ca 93706.
