Dear Carol, Laura and Vicki, Am so, so sorry to hear about your main man. He was a gem. Loved to listen to him play and just enjoyed his conversation. I know you will miss him. Will try to get to services or viewing, but am helping with grandchildren this week, so not sure if that can happen. Hugs to all of you. Love, Kris

Carol, Laura & Vicki, may you find comfort in the memories of your loving husband & father. Growing up with Laura afforded me to know him filling your home on Laura Lane with music, board games and a warm smile. May you feel God's loving arms wrapped around you at this time of sorrow and celebration of life. Love you all,

Carol -- I'm so sorry to hear about Stu. As I read the obit I kept hearing his great voice and seeing his contageous smile. We will be out of town both Friday and Saturday so won't be able to celebrate his life with you. May many great memories warm you now and may you look forward to a reunion in Heaven.
