Betty and family... so sorry to hear of Stuart's passing. Peter sent me the link this morning. Remember the good times of which I am sure there are lots.
My deepest sympathies to Betty and family. Stu was a wonderful neighbour and always so helpful from the first day, towing the moving truck up the hill in a snow storm, and for many winters thereafter, plowing the driveway out with the tractor. He was also a respected politician, always working hard for Cramahe Township. May he rest in peace.
