Barry Stone 1947-2016

Barry_Stone-2UK: Barry Stone, former technical services director at Daikin distributor Space Air, has passed away after a short illness.

Barry joined Space Air on its foundation in 1980 and worked closely with md Neil Afram until retiring in 2013.

As technical director, Barry was the driving force behind the Guildford-based company’s after-sales support service and the design and development of its range of mechanical and electrical accessories.

Describing Barry Stone as a dear friend, founder and great supporter of Space Air, Neil Afram said: “Those who have been with Space Air for a number of years will remember him as a quiet unassuming man of few words who had a wicked sense of humour.

“Barry was not just a valued director of Space Air but was also a very good family friend who will be missed by many,” he added.
