My father in law was one the The Greatest men in my life. My Son, his Grandson shared a special relationship. His Papa was is role model. My father in law always will me missed but never forgotten. He will be forever remembered!

Such a wonderful person. He was my Professor at Coastal many years ago. Very caring person. So sorry for your loss. God bless.

A wonderful man and great leader for the Forestbrook community. He was instrumental in helping to establish the Horry County Fire Department.

Stu was one of the kindest men I have ever known! He was such a good guy to serve on the Forestbrook Board with for so long. I will truly miss him!

Mr. Strothers was much admired and a wonderful community leader. Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family.

He was a wonderful neighbor and good friend. Our children loved Mr. Stu and Ms. Doris and our family mourns his passing.

I was saddened to learn of Stu's passing. He was my first supervisor when I began my career at Coastal Carolina in 1987. He was always very kind and helpful. After 30 years, I still remember his encouragement and support for a young instructor. I will keep a good thought for all in the coming days.
