Sue and Family, I was so sorry to hear of Stuart's death. I just spoke with him on the phone a couple of weeks ago, and had a long visit about old times, I grew up in the North End and often Stu would give me a ride to work on his way to work. I enjoyed our visits so much whenever I saw him in later years, which wasn't that often. He was a special person. My thoughts and prayers go out to you Sue and your family. Maribeth Gordon

To Sue and the entire family, we were so sorry to hear of Stuart's passing. Stu was a good friend of my Dad's, Kenny Gordon. When they were together there was always a story and many laughs. I would like to think that they are sharing some fun times together again. I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

Our family has such great memories of Stuart! He was an amazing man. The love and pride he felt for his grandkids was so evident and he always made my kids feel special too! Whether cheering on the boys at baseball, volunteering at the school events, or just having the kids over to play on the beach our kids loved to be around Stuart. He will be missed by them and us. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.

Stuart was such a "genuine" person-we enjoyed his friendship and were so happy for Stu and Sue that they had so many years together. My thoughts are with all of his extended family who always shared so many wonderful times. He was "one of a kind". Love and blessings to all.

My heart goes out to Bucky,Tammy and thier children and to Sue. I know the pain of losing a parent. I have nothing but good memories of Stuart. Most of my memories go back over 50 years ago, when I was a little girl. He took my sister and I to the fair. He had a picture of us painted on silk in Korea. He made us laugh. He was a kind and generous man.
