“We’ve had great bosses,” he said, but he made a point to note the current leadership of Township Manager Randee Elton and Public Works Director Charlie Dearnley.
“I can’t say enough good things. He’s a rare breed. Every morning I get a ‘God bless you.’ He’s just one of the most guarantee people I know. I’m just thankful to have him,” Dearnley said.
The public works director heralded Stone’s five decades as a testament to his service to Bristol Township.

Stone joked that he would pay everyone the next day for saying such nice things about him.
