Stuart L. Beal

My memories of Stuart are from the fifties and sixties when we belonged to the same synagogue and I became close friends with Sue. I remember Stuart playing the guitar and singing during Temple Youth Group activities.

I met Stuart when I was in the lab across from his office on the second floor of the UC Clinical Sciences Building.

Though we were never fortunate enough to meet Stuart, we now have a feeling for what a bright, loving and special man he was. And knowing Jolaine as we do, we see where she got so many of her beautiful qualities and talents.

Our deepest sympathy and
Love,
Mona and Jay

I came to know Stu very well during my stint as Interim Chair of the Department of Laboratory Medicine at UCSF, from 2000-2005. He was a brilliant yet humble man. He cared deeply about the department. He participated actively in our faculty activities, helping to steer our department to greater achievements and recognition. He was a solid member of our faculty, and we shall all miss him dearly.
