Chuck and his father Harold Stones share a moment at the CEO Forum in Colorado Springs. He has a passion for helping people become apprentices or disciples of Jesus Christ and helping them learn to truly follow Jesus. So now Chuck turns the page into the next chapter of his life. He has been an embodiment of optimism and hard work. He will always be remembered for his accomplishments and years of dedication to the KBA. Our finest wishes and prayers carry him onward.
