Hello, we are sorry to hear of the passing of Stu. Our last memory of Stu was at Ken-wo, he was having a meal. There was a constant stream of people stopping to chat and say hello. He was always asking of our family and what they were doing. He was an all around nice man. Take Care. Bev and David Harris

I'm saddened to hear of Stu's passing. He was one of the few hydrographers I could talk/argue sports with....would see him at the Acadia games in later years. You mentioned his hearty laugh....yes...fond story telling...lies...memories there. We'd get caught up onthe 'valley news' at the retirees lunches and BIO Christmas parties.

He was the best boss I ever had, Newly married, and a great teacher. I am saddened to hear he has passed on to the next world . His kind, warm gentle good nature was much appreciated in this world. thank you Stewart.

I knew Stu through his membership at KenWo. One of those KenWo "characters" who always was willing to have a chat especially when it related to our beloved Maple Leafs. A great guy who will be missed by our membership. My sincerest condolences to his family.

My condolences to all of Stewart's family. I first met him when my Mom and Dad moved next door to him and Kit on Lynn Drive many years ago (1967) and found out he was a cousin of Dad's. We saw them often when we visited my parents and also when there was a party going on. My family moved to the Valley in 1974 so visits were less frequent, but we still saw him once in awhile. Years after, I did run into Stu in New Minas after he moved there. My husband passed away last May, so maybe they will get together with Mom and Dad for some laughs, I really enjoyed his sense of humour!

Patty and Steve, our heartfelt condolences on your dad’s passing. Our memories go back to our BIO days where we got to know your dad and, a few years later, lucky to have him as our landlord. His permanent smile and laughter could always boost the spirits of those around him, and those qualities will always come to mind when we speak of your dad. In time, all your loving memories will bring peace, comfort, and a smile back into your days. We were all blessed to have known him.
