I first met Stu when I was assigned to work with him at IBM in 1984/85. He was a good friend and a funny man. I can vividly recall a picture he kept on his desk of the rear-end of an Ape.
Stu, Bob Clemens and I would go to lunch together and have weekly dinner outings.
Natalie and I did not attend his wedding ceremony to Peggy, but we attended a reception held later where we met Peggy.
Stu was one of the few IBM colleagues with whom I kept in touch over the years. I am glad I got the opportunity to talk to him at the beginning of September. I was hoping to see him but he was gone before I got the chance to get to Annapolis.
We will miss him, but at least the pain is gone.Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Peggy and you have our deepest sympathy. Hope to see you soon.
