Not sure what to say?

I remember the kissing parties Gina A. would have at her house in the garage. Stuart kissed Gina and I kissed Steve, his brother. Wow, that was 3rd or 4th grade. Time flies. In high school at Castro Valley, Stuart demonstrated his smarts in a low key, cool manner. This is sad to hear he's gone. Cindy

I'm sad. I knew Stuart from elementary school and remember the kissing parties at Gina's house. I would Kiss Steve, his brother, and Stuart would kiss Gina. Wow, 4th grade I'd say. Stuart was also at the same high school as me. He was a smart kid. Cindy

Stuart was a couple of years ahead of me at Berkeley where we both were Chemical Engineering majors. He was highly regarded as an expert in gas separation. At a company where there were world class experts, Stuart was among the top operational minds. I had the privilege of visiting Stuart in Sacramento where he was beloved by the folks that worked with him. We would have a management call every day for all the plants in the region to coordinate activities. During some of these calls,...

Many years ago I popped in Stuart's office and admired his Giants memorabilia. That began a friendship for work related chit chat and of course we had the Giants front office all figured out and the players and the best LB seats corresponding to hours of sunlight. My young Son got to meet Stuart 'the guy with the seats' , Stuart's memories will live on for generations yet to come. RIP always in Giant forever memories.

I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of my dear friend and colleague, Stuart Becker. My association with him spans over a decade and I will always remember him as an amazing, wise, and compassionate leader and influencer. His wit and wisdom made him a unique colleague and his ability to manage unspeakable adversity made him truly extraordinary. We shared many interests from Pink Floyd to his beloved Giants! He gave me tickets to see his favorite team in San Fransisco. "I keep my...

A bond between twins is a real thing. After along long hard fought battle with cancer my twin succumbed to the terrible disease. Stuart was intelligent, courageous, a teacher, a mentor, a brother, a father and grandfather, and my best friend. You will forever be in my heart and my memories. Rest in peace. My love for you is forever.

I will deeply miss celebrating Hanukkah with Stuart at Saul's Restaurant & Delicatessen in Berkeley, CA. Our tradition of enjoying Reuben sandwiches and latkes with applesauce was always special. Sometimes, Stuart would surprise me with cookies shaped like the Star of David or a menorah, adding a sweet touch to the celebration. He was not only an incredible manager but also a cherished friend and mentor. I'll miss our conversations about work, life, and the Giants.

My forever Giant of a brother. Love you, bro.

After heroically battling cancer for many years, my younger brother Stuart passed away yesterday It´s said that when you lose a brother you lose a part of yourself, and that´s how I feel. All of the adventures we had together growing up are as real today as they were when we first lived them. And across all the challenges we each faced throughout our lives - we could always count on the bond of our brotherhood to help us make it through. These are our memories and the love that bind us...
