Gordon Duneau Stott, the youngest of the three sons of Louis Noble and Ethel Doulton Stott, was born in Los Angeles. He attended Thatcher and Loomis, entering the brokerage business in the summer of 1929 as a runner for his father's old firm of Logan & Bryan. He joined A.G. Edwards and Sons about 1938, and the following year, as a partner, became a member of the New York Stock Exchange. Inducted 1942 into the Counter Intelligence Corps, he was later transferred to Special Branch, Army Intelligence, stationed in Washington. He married 10/20/1945 Harriet Elizabeth Hubbard, daughter of Allen S. Hubbard, partner in the NY law firm of Hughes Hubbard & Ewing. They raised three children. After the war, he returned to A.G. Edwards & Sons until about 1970. The family moved to Mount Kisco, New York in 1947; to Somers, New York in 1986, and to Farmington, CT about 1996, where he died in 2001.
His great love was the cello, and for many years played with the Chappaqua Chamber Orchestra, as well as keeping a spare cello in Salt Lake City on his occasional visits to look after his other great interest, western mining.
He also had a great fondness for the poetry of Robert Browning, and the inscription he requested on his stone is based on lines from "Rabbi ben Ezra":
...
For thence, — a paradox
Which comforts while it mocks, —
Shall life succeed in that it seems to fail:
What I aspired to be,
And was not, comforts me
