Mr. and Mrs. Little, and Family,
I meet Stuart a year ago, at the Barber Shop. I was a walked in, and Stuart asked if he could help. This started out friendship; he cut my hair every other week since then. I was so shocked when I went in today for my appointment and was told. Please know you have my deepest sympathy.

I knew Stuart from going to Southpark Barbers for years. The last time I was in there for a hair cut, he cut my hair. He always seemed very personalble and very kind. I know you all must be in terrible pain rest but be assured that he is in a better place and you will see him again. I know Southpark Barbers will miss his presence. God Bless you and your entire family. Rest in Peace Stuart.
