Not sure what to say?

Mimi,

Dorothy Pinchin and I are two Canadians that stayed at your Guest House a few years ago (we are friends of Ed and Donna McLennan). We loved meeting you and Santa and still treasure the pictures that we have. 'Miracle on 34th Street' was always one of my favourite films and Stuart helped bring the magical spirit of that film to real life. We are truly sorry to hear of your loss - I hope that you will find comfort with time. With love and hugs, we will plan to stop by and say...

Mimi and family,
I'm so sorry to hear of Stu's passing, but I know it was a tough road for you. Although I didn't know him that well, I feel blessed to have met the real Santa. When you were in the hospital and brought all those pics in of you and Santa, I couldn't believe how real they were. Even though I didn't meet Santa when I was young, I didn't feel like I missed out because Santa came to see me. You two together made a great team. Two wonderful, loving beings sharing your passion...

Mimi and family,
If ever there truly was a Santa-it was Stu. It was a pleasure to be a small part of his life and yours. He'll always be my Yankee Doodle Dandy too (he sang it to me this past July 4th).

I still remember bringing my son to see Santa at the Lincoln Mall. He was so nice, he made me believe all over again. From that year on, we only went there to see Santa, even after we moved to Walpole, Mass. I have a picture of my son with him. He was a special person.

Stuart will be sadly missed by many. My family and I never missed a trip to "The North Pole" to visit Santa at his "Workshop". Oh, how he will be missed. I have a great big 20x30 photo of my son and Santa taken professionally at my home by Bob. I asked Stuart to come to my house b ack in 1990 and had a professional photographer come to take pictures of Santa and my son, not only for our home but it was also our christmas card for that year. Hence, Images.

There was not a kinder...

Our sincere condolances to the Freeman family for the loss of a truly wonderful man, who gave more than anyone knows. As a neighbor growing up I first met him as a paperboy and saw the wonderful things he did. I have worked with him as a medic with Chepatchet Fire Dept and Freemason as he devoted his time to others. I could not wait until Chirstmas time each year to go the mall on my lunch break to say Hi.
Best wished from the family Mr.& Mrs. David Joubert

My sincere condolences, a great loss for sure

Chepachet's own "Santa" I have great memories of bringing my grandchildren to his workshop. Stu was loved by one and all, he would never pass up an chance to make the kids smile.He would sit in the back of the hay wagon's on those very cold nights in December. Our deepest sympathy to the Freeman Family.
