Mark J. Stone ’74

Mark died June 28, 2024, with his wife, Carol, and children Justin and Kelcey by his side.

Originally from Brooklyn and raised on Long Island, N.Y., Mark studied mechanical and aerospace engineering at Princeton. When not in class or studying, he was rumored to have served as “tube team captain” at Charter Club.

After graduation, Mark worked for several years as an engineer with his father in New York City before attending George Washington Law. There he received a law degree, with honors, and most importantly found his wife of more than 44 years. Ultimately settling in northern Virginia, he practiced law in the areas of construction and contract disputes for more than 30 years, much of the time as a founding and named partner in a boutique firm.

Mark is remembered as a dedicated family man and loyal friend. He attended many reunions, Harvard/Yale football games, and Charter Club events, always valuing time spent with friends. In his later years, researching family history and staying connected with extended family became Mark’s passion.

His family, affectionately known as Team Mark, gratefully acknowledges and deeply appreciates everyone’s kind expressions of sympathy and shared memories and stories.
