Dear Shari,
I think about you and Stewart more often now. I moved to Delray Beach and I know your Dad lives here. I hope and pray that you and the boys are doing well. Stewart was a wonderful guy. I remember when you met him and all the discussions we had about him. Taken too soon, I wish him peace! Same for you! Love, Lynn

Shocked to see Stewart's obit in the UPenn alumni magazine---from the shares on this page, it appears he succombed to COVID19....I live in Philly and would only see Stew at our class reunions---in fact, it was just last May, our 35th when I last saw him. I echo Pat Widmer's comments--Stew really was a super guy and a devoted friend.

To Stewart's family -- I am so sorry for your loss. Stewart has been a regular attendee at the monthly networking events at my firm in Manhattan. Over the years we had struck up a professional friendship. He will be missed. He was a great guy.

Shari I am so sad for your family's loss. Although I never met Stewart you always made him sound like a fun loving guy totally dedicated to his family.This virus is very cruel robbing us of loved ones in the best of life. my thoughts and prayers are with you

Stew was the linchpin of our annual NCAA hoops draft since 1983. Fortunately he often selected with his heart rather than his brain, or no one else ever would have had a chance to win! Kindhearted and thoughtful, Stew was the even-tempered voice of reason among us. He always spoke proudly and lovingly of Shari and his boys. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. An enormous loss to you and anyone who had the opportunity to meet him.

Dear Shari, Sam and Jonathan,
Although we never met, I feel as I got to know you during my happy hours with Stew over the past 30 years or so.

Stew possessed a great intellect and highly accomplished, but more importantly he reminded us of what was important : family, friends and community. While we would start discussing markets, our conversations always quickly transitioned
to talking about our families. I join my Wharton classmates in expressing my profound sadness of hearing of his passing.

Stewart was a great friend at Wharton, and it was wonderful getting caught up with him at the reunion last spring. Stew loved to laugh, and was just a fun guy to hang around with. We were brethren in being Springsteen fans. Jody & I were shocked and so saddened to hear this news. We'll hang on to the good memories of our time with Stewart.

It is hard to think about Stewart's passing. It was just yesterday we were celebrating our Wharton years at the 35th reunion. To me, Stewart was wonderfully good-natured, smart, understated, engaging and always a gentleman. He enjoyed a good laugh and indeed, there were many at reunions. My heart goes out to his family: sending energy in these tough times. Stewart will be missed.

I cant think of a kinder, more gentle soul and brilliant mind than his. He was a dear freind since we sat next to each other at businees school in 1984. He was at my wedding, and I was at his. I am broken hearted beyond words.

Dear Shari, Sam and Jonathan,
I am thinking of you during this devastating time. I remember wonderful memories of Stewart & Shari. Remember,Shari how interested you were after your first date with Stewart. Soon after that interest turned to joy and deep happiness. I remember all the faces you made Shari after each date; sitting across from you during that special "romance time." I deeply regret Stewart's death and offer my condolences and love to you all. You are in my thoughts with deepest sympathy. Shari i always admired you. You are strong and astonishingly capable of anything. I LOVE YOU, Lynn

So sorry Shari. Stewart was a wonderful guy

occasion in my life. May he rest in peace.
