Stuart R. Abelson

I knew Stuart when we were both undergrads, he two years behind me. We had a minor connection through the fact I was partly raised on the North Shore as he was. He worked backstage on the 1963 Hasty Pudding Show at Harvard, which I wrote with Nick Bunnin and several others. What a sunny guy Stuart was! Which is not to say lacking in depth, because he had that too. We were in touch again when he was at law school. I did not know he died so young, and discovering that has saddened me a...

We send our love and care to Jessie, Olivia, and all of Stuart's family. He was a very special man who we all felt blessed to have known. We regret we were not more successful in helping him overcome his illness. Do know that he loved each of you dearly and was immensely appreciative of the love and caring each of you provided.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Friends and Family of Stuart, I want to express my deepest sympathy for your huge loss. I am honored to have known him although for only a short time. He had such a zest for living and lived each moment to the fullest. When he came into our clinic in Evanston he brought joy to all he encountered inspite of dealing with his own disease as he did so bravely. Continue his glorious spirit in his honor!!!

I'll miss you, my friend. You leave lots of memories and I thank you.

We will miss the joie de vivre that was so much a part of Stuart. He has left a legacy of many good works and two wonderful sons, Jamie and Jesse. The neighborhood will not be the same for his passing.
