I first became acquainted with Stu through Brian in the mid 1990s. Over the last 20 + years he became one of the best friends Ive ever had. It breaks my heart to deal with the fact that he is no longer with us. Over the years my feelings towards Stu changed from a friend , and i started looking at him as an uncle of my own and mentor. I knew i could always talk to him about important things in my life, if i needed to. He was certainly a trusted person in my life and his thoughts and opinions always resonated with me. I will miss him and think about him always. My heartfelt condolences to Donna , Brian and the entire family.

I first became acquainted with Stu through Brian in the 1990s and over the last 25 years he became one of the best friends I’ve ever had. Over time I began seeing him as an uncle of my own. I certainly saw him as a mentor and a very trusted person in my life. A very intelligent, witty and overall great guy. I will miss him and think of him always. My heartfelt condolences to Donna , Brian and the entire family.

Every summer, my uncle Stu would come stay with us so he could partake in my dad’s Fantasy Football Draft. Every morning , I would wake up early just to be able to go downstairs and see my Uncle sitting at the table reading his newspaper. Every time he would say “Good morning Honey” and ask me if I wanted to go get bagels together. We would get into the car and we would pretend that Uncle Stu was a taxi driver and he would turn around to the back seat and say “Where to lady?” I will miss and love my Uncle forever, as he was such an important person in my life.

One of my fondest memories of Stu, was his sense of humor, good times and the laughter we shared. I never considered him just my boss, but rather family. I have known Stuart since 1974, and began working for him in 1979. Through him I met his wife (and my dearest friend), Donna just about a week after I began working for him. To say I will miss him is an understatement. Rest in Peace dear Stuart. We all love you and love has no end. Sending hugs to Heaven- Diane

We met Stu and Donna on a cruise last year and became great friends. Having spent time together thereafter in Florida and Chicago, we came to love and respect Stu. He was such an amazing person and so incredibly smart. We are grateful for the times we spent together and have many happy memories with he and Donna. He told Donna recently that we met them 10 years too late…and we couldn’t agree more! Rest easy, Stu! We will miss you but know that when we are together with Donna, you will be there….in our hearts. Much Love, Steven and Dan

My fondest memories of Stu are the laughter we shared, and the tears. He was much more than a former boss, instead as family. Throughout the years, together with his spouse and my dearest friend, Donna (whom I met through him in 1979), we have shared many life events. He was intelligent, caring and had a sensational sense of humor. To say that I will miss him is an understatement. Rest In Peace, Stuart. We all love you, and love has no end.
