Stuart was an integral part in running Young Sales Company the business that his father started in 1950 and is still in operation today. He worked there for over 65 years and had many employees and customers that loved and respected him for his honesty and integrity.
SLY had a love of classic cars and owned many over his lifetime, his favorite was the 1962 Corvette that he customized himself. His love of plants and gardening was lifelong and he spent many years perfecting the landscape of his home. He had a great sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. The last few years he had fun approaching strangers and asking if he could give them his business card, if they agreed he would hand them a card that simply said “MY CARD” He handed out thousands of these, many people know him as the MY CARD guy. If you laughed you made his day. Thank You for that.
Stuart was a loving and generous man who touched many lives and he will be dearly missed. Cherished memories never fade, and as long as there is memory, he will live on in our hearts forever.
