I was a patient of Dr C´s and he always fit me in at a moment notice. He would tell me about the love of his life, Angie, and their beautiful life together. The way he spoke about her I could only wish to find that true love. Godspeed my dear friend you will be truly missed!

It was profoundly sad to hear that Stu passed away. Tom and I became family several years ago as we meshed our 2 families and eventually shared our children and grandchildren. It was such a pleasure being in Stuart's company. When we first met Stuart and Angie we immediately noticed how perfectly matched they were. We often discussed how they enjoyed not only each other, but also shared the same taste, activities, food, wine, music, cars, and travel destinations. Stuart and Angie had many similar wonderful qualities! They were obviously the love of each other's lives since the day they met- a match made in heaven.- such a sweet story. They were both selfless, thoughtful, and generous, sharing lots of laughs and a great sense of humor - a team of two who made everyone in their lives feel special, noticed, and important. We feel very lucky to have met and known Stuart as he was such a wonderful example of someone who appreciated and enjoyed life and made sure he did his best to make other's lives more enjoyable as well. He was truly an honorable gentleman, a good soul, and exemplary role model. We loved Stuart and will miss him dearly.

I met Stu when I was 20! I have been going to him for 47 years. He was kind, caring and loved taking amazing care of his patients. He cared about his patients not about the money. He will be missed by so many. He was a friend after all these years. My condolences go out to his Family

Dr. Cerato was a blessing to us all. He had a way with people that I had never seen before. People met him in the dental chair, and walked away best friends with him. He was a true gift! And its been a delight to work by his side these past few years. I thank you, Dr. C.. for telling me everyday how great an assistant I was. For always showing appreciation for me and Nickole. For teaching me everything I know about dentistry. And for reminding us all, there is compassion and kindness still left in this world. And thank you Angie.. for sharing him with us

Thanks to the many friends who shared this sad news with me. I was Stuart´s wife for more than 20 years. We met in college, then moved to Philadelphia where I supported him through dental school at Temple University. I found his first dental office where he joined with Dr. Lou Mattucci, Dr. Harris Mann and others through the years. I remain close to his sister and nephew to this day.
