William Henry Stone, \u201cHenry\u201d to most, left this world on the morning of Tuesday, January 8, 2019, after a short but aggressive case of pancreatic cancer. Henry was a unique and valued member of the Welding Technology Department at Austin Community College, first as a student, then as a lab assistant, adjunct professor, and finally full time professor.<\/p>\n
Henry was a cabinet-maker, mill-worker, welder, blacksmith, and, ultimately, welding professor at ACC, his dream job.\u00a0\u00a0He was a creator of just about anything\u2013furniture, light fixtures, garage apartments, gardens, artistic BBQ pits, pom-poms for woolen hats, Wom-Kim\u2019s Peach Pudding, chicken coops, marching band equipment, online Math quizzes, gantries, tables from giant saw blades, you name it.<\/p>\n
Henry was generous with his time and his wealth of accumulated expertise.\u00a0 He was dedicated to the education of those wishing to enter or advance within the workforce.\u00a0 He fearlessly and tirelessly worked toward the success of his students and of the Welding Technology Department.<\/p>\n
The Welding Technology Department has established the Henry Stone Memorial Scholarship to honor and remember Henry.\u00a0 Our goal is to raise at least $15,000 within one year (by February 14, 2020) so that it may be converted to an endowed scholarship, which will continue to honor Henry\u2019s memory for years to come.<\/p>\n
Please visit ACC\u2019s Foundation page to see\u00a0How to Donate<\/a>.\u00a0 \u00a0If you choose to\u00a0donate online<\/a>, be sure to select \u201cHenry Stone Memorial\u201d from the list in the box labeled \u201cHow would you like for us to use your donation\u201d.<\/p>\n Henry is greatly missed by all who knew him and, inevitably, loved him.\u00a0 Thank you for your support of this endeavor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" William Henry Stone, \u201cHenry\u201d to most, left this world on the morning of Tuesday, January 8, 2019, after a short but aggressive case of pancreatic cancer.
