I am shocked and saddened that my special friend Stuart passed away and I am glad to have this opportunity to express my deepest sympathy to his parents and loved ones. I have some great stories to share but for now I will share my last visit with Stuart which was at our high school reunion summmer 08-(BG class of 78) We spent a long time chatting as we also had at the previous reunion. I can truly say seeing "Stuart" was the highlight for me hands down. While he was talking and sharing such great memories a crowd of "girls" joined in who hadn't recognized him immediately. They also had similar special memories and He became the center of attention.He kept us all laughing so hard with his keen memory and amazing wit and it tickled me to see how confident he had become.
Stu was my favorite guy to sit by and we shared many classes back in the day. I thought of him often afterward and emailed him once before I lost his address when I changed my email account. I am sorry I didn't talk more as I intended. I absolutely adored him and will remember Stuart forever.I wish I could describe the unique special "aura" and quality that made him such an endearing friend and human being. I send heartfelt sympathy,Love and prayers. I was a BG pharmacy customer for years and remember you well Mr and Mrs. Rafferty. I would be happy to share more so call anytime 509-735-9596
I live in Kennewick Wa. My Maiden name was Anne(Bernie) Lindberg - My married name is Anne Tanninen.

Stuart was our neighbor in Lincoln City for many years and was always the first to help out and the last to complain about circumstances. Our family will miss him dearly.He was a sweet and gentle soul.

My deepest condolences to stuarts family. I was his Little leauge coach when he was 10 or 11, State farm Insurance. We went undefeated.Stuart was our 2nd baseman. He was a joy to be around. All these years have passed, yet I remember him like it was yesterday. You just knew he was going to be a caring loving adult. I am so deeply sorry He will however remain locked in my memory alive and well as the boy who captured hearts and played 2nd base like no other.
