Not sure what to say?

Stu used to spend most of his time with many of us when he was in Italy and we all like to remember him with sympathy, nostalgia and pride.

Vittorio Marcopoli, on behalf of the TWA Seniors of Italy

Many thanks and best wishes.

My sincere best regards to Stu's family in your loss.
I was also a career flight engineer with TWA, and knew Stu for 35 years. The nature of our job didn't give much chance to visit with each other during work-times, but I always enjoyed his droll sense of humor and quiet manner. Stu was a fine gentleman and I know that crewmembers who flew with him enjoyed his capable professionalism.

Jodi, You took the time to speak with me about the travails of book publishing even as you tended to your father. It was Glenda who put me in touch with you. You may remember. She told me of your father's passing. I am sorry to hear of your loss.

I'm glad I was able to meet Stu and spend Thanksgiving with him. Blessings...
