Stuart George LUBBOCK

Stuart. Just heard of your passing. So sad to hear. Rest in peace and condolences to your family.

Found out when I got back to NZ last week that Stu had passed away. Condolences to Lydia and his family. Was in the Pakuranga PlaceMakers store yesterday and spoke to the lady on special orders and we both remembered Stu. She told me he had worked in that store early on in his career! Always greeted each other by by booming out our surnames across the room then would settle into a great chat about the work at hand and life in general. A genuine bloke who will be missed in the data and...

Stuart was an awesome human being to work with, to laugh with and to struggle with when work was a bit rough. Always appreciated his candour and wit when approaching problems, thank you Stu for all the encouragement.

I worked with Stewey @ PlaceMakers 1992-2002. His enthusiasm to help was greatly appreciated as was his data extraction skills and his patience, as he repeatedly tried to train me in using pivot tables, always enjoying being helpful. We seconded him & his data skills for a period into Category to support several of the Strategic Project Streams including the massive project realigning retail prices.

His multi-tasking left a bit to be desired as I often found trying to keep him focused on the task at hand was like herding cats.

Will miss you Stu. The workplace won't be the same without you. We will keep the lolly jar topped up for you.

Stu, always helpful, patient a true Team player. Condolences to Lydia and your Family. Buster Young

Stu. I´ll always remember your warm welcome and smile when I first started at PlaceMakers some 27 yrs ago - and we continued to stay in touch at different times over that period. You always had a joke to tell, some ribbing to dish out and made time to connect. Will miss your warmth, smile and big heart. Arohatinonui Kara and Swaz x
