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!

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
Stu was a nice man and good friend to many. Sending condolences to his family.

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!!!
Great Wise Man …. Stu Will Be Missed. Prayers To His Daughters and His Families.
