Stu was my closest friend growing up in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn. We both went to Erasmus Hall high school and hitchhiked across the country one summer when we were in our early '20's. We had many [of what for us were] unusual experiences, including working on a ranch near Helena Montana. He remained a dear friend until his death, and I think of him often and with great fondness.

I met Stuart at the earlier meetings on Psychoanalysis and Music and enjoyed gatherings at his home with his fine cooking. I was deeply saddened to hear about his passing. His vibrant curiosity,ability to observe and wonder with exquisite sensitivity, his gentleness, and warmth will always be remembered. A wonderful combination of the best of a musician and the best of a psychoanalyst. Our community has lost a very special man! My sincere condolences to Charlotte and to his family.

It was a great privilege getting to know Stuart over the past several years through Charlotte. His warmth and vitality were reflected in his keen mind, his decency, and his generosity. Aubrey and I feel fortunate to have had such lively dinners with Stuart, sharing in his enthusiasm about music, food, ideas, and the human spirit. Stuart touched our lives in profound ways. We offer our condolences to his family and to Charlotte on your great loss.

I looked up to my cousin Stu like a father. I had the great fortune to live with him, Carol, Susanna and Adam for a month many years ago and felt just like one of the family.
I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing but I am greatful to have had the chance to see him in recent years at family gatherings at his Aunt Shirley's in Florida.
I had a special affection for Stu and will miss him very much. My sincerest condolences to his family.

I knew Stuart as a fellow member of the CUNY Graduate Center Musical Biography Group as well as from our personal exchanges about our mutual interest in the Mahler/Schindler/Moll families. He was a dedicated scholar, a multifaceted and cultured man, and a perceptive discussant as well as a winning dinner companion after the Biography Group meetings. I will miss him. I extend my condolences to Stuart's family and friends.
