Carol, Julie and Joey.. Please let me know if there is anything we can do. I will always remember the times he would pass us on the beach in the summer, while we were all tanning and swimming. He was just getting home from work. He always would do a drive-by. to see if his family was there. And i would say: water is warm.. your lake friends, Cyndi and Dustin

Carol, I just recently ran into you at a basketball game when you told me that Stuart wasn't doing very well...I had no idea how ill he was. He was too young but I guess G-d needed a very Special Angel at this time so he called Stuart home. For Stuart this is a new journey - no more pain - just joy... For the family and friends he leaves behind sadness.. There are no words I am sure to help at this time - but know that G-d has a plan for each of us. We may not know or understand of this now, but in time we will - please let us know if there is anything we can do for you, Julie or Joey. Our prayers are with you all.

Uncle Stu,
Your pain is no more and you are now free. I will never forgot when I lost your fishing pole in the lake and you had to jump in to get it. Thank you for helping me realize that life is too short and to never ever give up. You were truly a great friend, uncle and person. I will miss you and know you will be looking down on me. Until we meet again, I love you Uncle Stu"
