Not sure what to say?

I met Stuart socially through Lee and Pam Williams many years ago and would run into him over the years. Stuart was never without his charm and humor and always left an impression! He will be remembered fondly.

Remember the time You Stuart visited us at my annual Pig Pickin on Lake Gaston NC.. What a great time. Still have a picture of u guys on my Coulauge of pictures at the Boat House. Remember the Halloween party you guys had. He will be missed by many many friends. I will never forget Stuart.

We met Stuart and Patty in Mexico on vacation. We had an instant connection and really enjoyed our short time together. Stuart was a good friend and we spoke on the phone often. We are so sad to hear of his passing and send our love to Patty and the family. RIP my friend.

Stuart and I met on a dating site. We had a marvelous connection and he came to visit me in March 2015. I loved his voice, his passion for politics, his ease of expressing himself and his sentimental side. I am beyond shocked to hear about his death and my heart is aching. I wish I had had the opportunity to meet all of the people he talked about - Patty, Gage, Linda, their children, Bill, Don and others.
Rest in Peace, Stuart. I will never forget you.

I especially remember the discussions Stuart and I had on politics. He liked to call me a "pink commie," so I, in return, called him a fascist, all the while knowing the comments were mostly in jest. We had a very good friendship. I enjoyed his singing, his light-hearted commentary on various topics. I'll miss him.

It was so nice reconnecting with Stuart after many years. To learn of his recent death was truly a shock. I will continue to think of him fondly.

An unexpected email from a friend informed me of Stuarts passing. We spent a season of our lives together, lots of laughter and political debates!!! A passionate, free thinker and spirit, great singer, cook, and all around entertainer....I am so sad he is no longer with us....Hopefully he is in a better place...

Too many funny stories to share but I sure have many. The funniest was the last time I saw him which was around 6 months ago. Oh Stu... Thanks for the memories and the laughs darling. You will be missed.
