It was great working with Stu at the VA in Bedford for 5+ years. Will cherish our daily morning chat about events! He was honest but civil with his work dealings and you certainly earned my respect because of that and other suttle things!

Stuart was a great guy. I still remember stopping in Oklahoma at school to see him on one of my backpacking trips across the country in the 1970’s. My condolences to all his family members. Love, Ned Ferry

it is an honor to have called Stu my brother in law. I could not have asked for him to love my sister and nephews more. He protected them as well as he protected us all serving in the marines in Vietnam and I thank him for that. I will miss his passionate views on politics, sports and world events. Rest in peace Stu. Love you.

I am left with few words to describe my sadness. I was fortunate to spend 5 years working with Stu in VISN 1. He was smart, funny sometimes a bit irreverent but always professional and at the top of his game. Pleas accept my humble condolences. I remember him well and will think of him often.

We were stunned and saddened to hear of Stu’s passing. We both worked with Stu in the VA Healthcare System. Stu always spoke so lovingly of his wife and children. Our thoughts are with all of you. He was much too young to leave this world.
