Edwin Stone Waters ’68 passed away unexpectedly in his sleep on January 9. Stone was born on November 4, 1946, to Edwin (class of 1930) and Marjorie Waters. Stone grew up in Wakefield, Massachusetts, and studied anthropology at Dartmouth. He enlisted in the Marine Corps, serving in the Corps from 1965 to 1968 and later in the Army from 1986 to 2003. After his military retirement, he supervised security at the Gillette Factory in Andover, Massachusetts. A voracious reader, Stone had a passion for learning about history and science, often helping his children with school and extracurricular science projects. He found great joy in cooking, and his recipes were loved by many. Known for his wit, he delighted in old references and often sparked a reaction from others with a twinkle in his eye. He chopped trees, grew tomatoes, and built a barn without a blueprint, just a hammer and no fuss. He enjoyed antiques, selling at flea markets, and found kindred spirits in Great Dane dogs. His life was defined by his strength, courage, and kindness. His humor, work ethic, and compassion live on through his children, grandchildren, and all those he impacted. He is survived by his wife, Janet; children Fiona, Joseph, Christian, and Stephen; and granddaughter Violet.
