Not sure what to say?

Remembering you Stuart on this day, you are so missed

So very sorry to hear of your loss. All best wishes, Jerry and Lenore Stuart

Stuart Curran was the first professor I met at Penn. Imagine being a first-year student, assigned to read Frankenstein, and have your discussion led by Professor Curran! I had no idea of the reach of his scholarship at the time. He couldn't have been more warm, more gracious, or more insightful. We were fortunate to have him on our faculty and for his extensive service. My condolences to all who knew and loved him.

One of my favorite memories, spending time in Provincetown with my favorite uncles Stuart will be so greatly missed by our family, it honestly doesn´t seem real that he has left this world. I´m so grateful for our dinner together in February, a night I will always cherish.

Dear Joe, I have just learned of Stuart's death. I am so sorry for your devastating loss. I remember Stuart as not only an outstanding scholar but also as a kind and encouraging friend.

Dear Joe, I´d like to bring with memories of lovely times together with you both, full of laughter and warmth, my deepest sympathies and lots of love. Lennie
