STUART HOLMES Sr.

Bootsie, Butch, Mark, Tim & Sherri--

I just found out about Stuart's passing, and although I am sad, I also have some good memories of hanging out with your family back so many years ago. You all, like us, have a good strong family, and now, both our patriarchs are gone. I pray God gives you the strength to get through the emptiness & pain and keeps you all close. God bless you all!

Stu was a heck of a guy and I am so happy to have known him for so long. There are so many memories of dancing and listening to Mark's band altogether....they surely bring back great smiles. Here's to you, Stu! Peace! Hugs! Love!

Dear Mark,

We were so sorry to hear of your father's passing. I never had the privilege of meeting him in person, but having had the honor of knowing you and your family as close friends for many years now, I know that he was a wonderful Dad and a wonderful person from which the entire community benefited greatly.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Excellent write up in the RTD. A sad day for a wonderful family here but a celebration for your father. God bless you with faith and strength.

My deepest sympathies to the whole family. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Uncle Stuart's memories will live on forever in all of us.
Best memories - the whole extended family gathered in the living room watching home movies, laughing, smiling and playing around.
The twinkle in his eye and smile that always reminded me of the sweetness of PaPa.
Love to all of you,
Susie

Butch, I am so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. He accomplished so much for his family to remember and be proud of. I hope you and your family will be at peace and his loving memory will surround you always. Take care.

Dear Bootsie and family. Sorry about Stuarts passing. Hope to see you soon.
Anything I can do to help you. You know where i am. Very nice picture of Stuart.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL

Butch, Margaret, Nick, Ryan (everyone)--So sorry to hear about the loss of your father and grandfather. It's amazing to see the quality traits that get passed down through several generations in a family. I know it's incredibly tough to lose a parent; but it's clear that he lived a very good and long life, and he had a ton of which to be proud. Another of the Greatest Generation moving on to his final resting place. Thanks for sharing the news.

Butch,

So sorry to hear about the loss of your father.

Working with you for all those years at Philip Morris was a pleasure and you were the ultimate professional. I'm sure you got many of your quality traits from your Dad.

I hope the many fond memories you shared will comfort you at this time.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Buddy Peace

Hi Stuart,
Sorry to hear of the loss of your dad and my condolences to you and your family. I can tell he was a fine gentleman and did a lot for our country and all associated with him. My mother and her sisters were also students in the same era at John Marshall and possibly had the honor of knowing him. Take care and know you and your family are in my prayers.

Dear Aunt Bootsie and Cousins,
I was so sorry to hear about Uncle Strart's passing. I know how it feels to loose our family. Jeff and I still have a hard time dealing with the loss of Mom and Dad. Uncle Stuart was a good man, a great husband and a great dad. I am so thankfull to have been a part of such a loving family growing up. I think often about all the holiday gatherings and fun we had as kids. I really miss those days. I know Uncle Stuart is in a better place with loving family members that welcomed him with open arms. Again my deepest sympathy. I love you all. Howie

Dear Bootsie and Mark, Please accept my sincere message of sympathy to you and your family. You helped me so much when I worked for ChemTreat...printing everything we needed, especially when I waited sometimes until the last minute!! I haven't seen you in years, but think of you often. So sorry for your loss...I am glad I was able to meet Stuart and your family. With my sympathy, Marcia Harman
