I'll always remember that grin of his; it's so distinct that it should be trademarked. I'll miss that, along with his laugh, but I'll always able to see and hear those in my memories. Rest easy, Stew, and thanks for being one of the better people in my life.

Thank you all for sharing such kind words about my Dad. I miss him so much! But it brings some comfort to my broken heart that so many people recognized how special he was. I'm glad he had so many wonderful times with his friends and family before he passed away. He may be physically gone but he'll always be in my heart.

I was lucky enough to spend a week with Stu exploring the country on two wheels. The laughs and smiles he gave us around every corner was amazing. The man knew how to enjoy life and spread that joy to others. I will always remember him for that.

I think that the priest said it best:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.

Thanks for everything Stu.

To all of Stews family I offer my condolences. I knew stew through Motorcycles and if there is one memory or impression of Stew I hold of him is he was ALWAYS happy, ALWAYS smiling. He lit up a room and I enjoyed endless conversations about almost any topic.

I will, as anyone who knew him, miss him. Ride on Stew!

To my Uncle Stew, always known to me as Pixie, I will forever cherish the opportunity I was given to vacation together this past summer and I am so sorry there will not be many others. Your energy is contagious and I can only imagine the joyous greeting you are getting in heaven. I wish you the best as you begin your next adventure. Godspeed.
