Richard Renfro Stock, 85, passed away peacefully at a hospice home in Canton, GA, with a son and wife, Lisa. This occurred on July 4, 2017. His loving and wonderful wife , Adrienne Aden Stock, preceded him on Christmas Eve, 2010.
Richard grew up at Willette Plantation, near Hollandale, along with many cousins in the nearby Delta. Always an innovator, he and other grade school cousins exhibited early journalistic talent one year when they printed out editions of "The Driveway News" which surprisingly surfaced in some other states. Later, he started Poor Richard's tomatoes and had a patent on the green house which is still in widespread use today. He attended Baylor School in Chattanooga, TN, and Mississippi State University.
His adult career included Reed Joseph in Greenville ; Medical and Financial in Jackson; Cardinal Industries in Atlanta ; IBSA in Memphis and, later, Crye-Leike Realty in Memphis.
Richard truly enjoyed life with a wonderful marriage and a large circle of friends and family.
Richard is survived by his children, Richard Stock, Jr. (Lisa) of Wilmot, AR, Cayce Stock of Wilmot, AR, Sloan Stock of Oxford, MS, Percy Stock of Hardy, AR, and Blaine Stock (Lisa) of Canton, GA; 8 grandchildren; and numerous cousins.
