In memoriam: Robert Stone
Robert Stone, professor emeritus of sociology, died July 26 at his Oakland
home. He was 86. Stone taught at SF
State from 1963 to 1983, focusing his teaching and scholarly activities
on social welfare. During his tenure, he served
as director of the Institute for Social Science Research.
He
was the author of two books, "Service and Procedure in Bureaucracy" and "Welfare
and Working Fathers." The latter, published in 1971, described the
lives and lifestyles of 1,200 low-income families in California. Born in
St. Louis, Stone moved to Berkeley with his family as a child. While
an undergraduate student at University of California, Berkeley,
he was on the fencing team and played violin in the university orchestra.
Stone
served in the Air Force during World War II, flying missions in
Spitfire fighter planes in North Africa and Italy. He completed his
master's degree and doctorate at University of Chicago. Before joining SF State, he taught at Stanford University, Tulane University
and University of Arizona.
An avid outdoorsman, Stone enjoyed boating, fishing, tennis, hiking
and skiing. He organized a ski club at the Rossmoor senior adult community
in Walnut Creek, where he lived from 1984 to 2000.
Stone is survived by his wife of 63 years Frederica Hatch Stone; sister
Ruth Dahlke; children Summer, Tom and Judy; and grandchildren Lucas,
Sarah, Serenity, Marcella Stone-Fox, and Sharma (Stone) Peterson.
