To the family of Bill Stuart -
I was very saddened to learn of Bill`s death. It sounds like he and Janet broke the record for a long and loving marriage.
Alton and I enjoyed a special friendship with Bill and Janet over many years, and we appreciated Bill´s delightful sense of humor.
With much love, and sympathy to Janet, and the Stuart family.
