Stone was considered a fistic clown at times, and besides smoking a cigar in training he once chased a train to advertise a bout.
   To gain the attention of road workers who might be future fans, he would take a pick and work for an hour as a member of the crew.

He fought in World War I, and was falsely reported dead during the war, when he actually had broken an ankle in a minor ship accident.

He retired from boxing after his last fight in Australia around 1929, married a local girl and remained there the rest of his life.
He had two sons, Robert and Max.
In 1935, he ran a gymnasium in Newtown, Sydney, Australia and mentored the American boxer Dave Shade.
 He later managed Rus Critcher, a future Australian Welterweight champion.
 For many years he owned and operated a garage in Sydney, near his home in Marrickville.

His older of two sons, Max, served in the Australian army and had a career as an amateur boxer.
Max was in consideration to represent Australian boxing at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but was not selected.

Stone died on December 12, 1950, in Australia's Sydney suburb of Marrickville and was cremated after a service at his home on December 14.
