Not sure what to say?

Col. Stuart was one of the best teachers in a school brimming with excellent teachers. His patience and understanding helped the lessons - whether they were about physics or upright conduct - go down easier. He will be missed.

I only met Mr. Stuart once - at the marriage of my sister, Sarilee, and his son, Andy. But I recall him as the epitome of "an officer and a gentleman," no doubt a leader of the best generation. On behalf of the Picard family, our condolences.

I wil never forget Mr. Stuart as one of my favorite teachers at BA. His use of model airplanes in physics class to explain the X,Y,and Z axis is engraved in my mind as much as is seeing him standing by the front door of the school greeting each student every morning. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
