Go Fauquier High School 1978!! I had the pleasure to know Stuart and Lydia through out high school years. They were childhood sweethearts and always pleasant and true friends. Stuart was such a positive and supportive friend. He had the best smile. He was well liked and respected by everyone. Always the immaculate dresser!
Prayers to Lydia and family
I´m blessed to have known him

So sorry to hear of my high school classmate´s passing. Stuart was witty as hell, and I recall his ability to make most anyone laugh seemingly on command. RIP Stuart.

I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Stuart in German class when he met Lydia. He was always a nice guy. Prayers for Lydia and your family
