  2. Randy & Diane Van Note purchased the Simply Elegant Spathiphyllum for the family of Stuart A. Demro.

  3. I always enjoyed it when we visited his folks on a Sunday afternoon and the boys would come in from hunting, there may be a bottle of Southern Comfort go round and his Dad would give us a taste and my mom would have a fit of giving alcohol to her little girls, according to Stuart and Ronnie, my Mom had the prettiest boys south of Nashua!

  4. Mary, Paula and Carol….you have a great legacy. Your mom and dad meant so much to our family. The memories are eternal. We love you all and send our deepest sympathy. God is with you! Jon & Eija Heddens

  5. This man taught me alot in my younger years not that he had to but could and I am thankful of that! Sorry for your loss he was a great man!

  6. We’re so sorry to read about Stu’s passing. It brings up memories of him and Micki curling at the Country Club, golfing and just shooting the bull, which Stu was a master. Brother Ronnie and Stu plastered both of our houses and who could forget their incessant chatter. He will certainly be missed. Bill & Phyllis Kunzman

  7. Wow I can’t believe he is gone. What a man! Stu was the nicest person. He could talk to any stranger and make them a friend in no time. He could tell me stories about my dad from when they were teenagers and I never tired of them! I hope he and your mom and my folks are spending time on the golf course with all their other friends!!!
