Stu was a very loving and caring man, he has a wonderful family. Stu’s nephew Zack is my boyfriend and I feel honored to have gotten the chance to meet him. RIP Stu you will always be in our hearts.
I am grateful for re connecting our lives again in the past few years, and thankful for seeing Stu’s mom before her passing because of it. (Cleveland). There are many many memories that will last forever. Stu will be missed. Thank you for it all.
