It's very hard to imagine Stuart is no longer walking along with us. I've not seem him in a while and always expected our paths would merge again someday. Stuart was one of the quickest wits I'd ever known. He could always put a humerous edge on a stressfull situation. He has made my approach to life an easier one, and I'll always remember him for that.
