I was so sad to hear of Stu’s passing and disappointed that I only heard after the funneral. Like everyone else, Stu knew how to put a smile on everyone’s face plus squeeze a free meal or drink from them. I am sad that I won’t see those skinny little legs on the golf course. Know alot of people are reflecting on the loss of such a great friend.

Dear Gloria and family,

We were so sorry to hear of Stu’s sudden passing. He was a delightfully friendly person. Jack and I really enjoyed visiting at dinner with you and Stu and Romelda at “Michelle’s Place” in Crossfield – only a few weeks ago. God’s last gift is the wonderful memories you all will have of your dear loved one. You are in our thoughts and prayers at this sad time.

Sincerely,

Brother Jack and friend Dorothy

Gloria and Family:

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult of times.

I enjoyed working with Stu and our subsequent get-togethers.

Stu always had time for everyone that he met. He always left you with a smile and a laugh.

He will be greatly missed.

Gloria and Tania,

So sorry to hear about Stuart’s passing. It was great to see him, and hear his laugh, one last time at Bill’s party at the end of the summer.

Best wishes,

Jeff

Gloria,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. We will always fondly remember Stuart-among his many great attributes, we loved his great sense of humor.

Betty and Bryan Clark

We know the memories you have of him as a husband, father and grandfather , will help you in the days ahead as you adjust to a new normal. Our prayer is that God will be near you during this time and give you much comfort.

Dear Gloria,

Sorry to hear of Stu’s passing. Both Alberta and I have known Stu from the early fifties with some very good times at Western, Stampede weeks and several enjoyable Waggles with Stu on hand to add to the fun with his good cheer and stories. Sympathy extended to all the family.

Dave & Alberta Shores

Gloria you are in my prayers. I know how hard it is to lose your husband. You must hold on to the fond memories.

And know he is in a better place now.

I am very sorry to learn of Stu’s passing. He was such a pleasant person to know and who made each working day a bit more enjoyable. My condolences to his family.

“ God has not promised skies always blue,

Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;

God has not promised sun without the rain,

Joy without sorrow,

Peace without pain.

But God has promised

Strength for the day,

Rest for the labor,

Light for the way,

Grace for the trials,

Help from above,

Unfailing sympathy and love.”

Gloria, we are so sorry to hear of Stu’s passing, I can’t tell you how many smiles he put on my face, he was such a great guy and will be missed by many.

It was with profound sadness that I received the news of the passing of Stu. I too had the privilege of working with Stu at COP and his sense of humour and infectious smile very often made my day. His family meant the world to him and you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stu was one in a million!

Tania & Gemma,

You are in our hearts and prayers during this difficult time. Tania I did’t have the pleasure of meeting your dad but I know you had the perfect relationship with him and spoke very fondly of him. Have peace in knowing he will always be looking over you, Gemma and your mom and be forever in your hearts.

Our deepest condolances,

Susan & Jonathan Duxbury xoxo

Gloria and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Stu. We shared a lot of laughs and good

times both at Western and out at Water

My prayers are with you.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Stu. I’m sure he will be missed by all of you forever. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of Stu’s passing. It was great running into him and getting reaquainted at the Water Valley Golf Course as we had attended Western Canada High School together. Unfortunately I will not be available to attend the celebration of life as we are in Arizona for a couple of weeks.

Stu always put a smile on my face and everyone around every time we met. The world has lost someone whom loved laughter. I thank him for the many fun times in High School.

Ron Parry

I don’t think I will ever think of Stu without smiling. Its been great knowing him and knowing you Gloria. I will keep in touch

Jim

Tania and Gloria, I was very sad to hear Stu had passed. I always enjoyed our interactions and have fond memories of him and your family. Hugs to you both, and to Gemma too.

With my sympathy to the family,

I went to Western Canada with Stu, and ran into him in numerous places over the years, especially enjoyed saying hello to him at the Legion. He was always smiling and enjoying life.

Hi Gloria and Family:

I knew Stu while growing up in the Beltline area and was always pleased to meet him and talk about all sorts of common interests such as school at Connaught Junior High, sports, careers, common friends, etc.

Stu was always a gentleman and I appreciated knowing him. My sympathies and best wishes!!

Don Snow

Dear Gloria,

Sorry to hear of Stu’s passing. Our first meetings were around “his neighbourhood” when I went to visit my grandmother back in the forties. Then the good years at Western. Waggle meetings were always fun. Sympathy extended to all the family.

Roger Keith

Best wishes to Gloria and your family during this difficult time. I had the privilege of working with Stu at COP. He always met me with a smile or a great story. I once named a pet fish after him. Stu is one of the good ones.

My deepest condolences Gloria to you and your family. I was fortunate to have worked with Stu for a number of years at COP. Stu always had a joke and was truly a good guy.

Gloria and family,

We were so sorry to hear of Stu’s passing, he will be greatly missed by many. I too worked at COP with Stu and he ALWAYS brought a smile to everyone he met. He always spoke so highly of his family, and especially his granddaughter. I feel very blessed to have known him, he brought so much light and life to everything he did and to everyone he met. He was a very special man. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

My deepest condolences to the Bayne family. Words cannot describe the person Stu was. Tops in everyones book! He will be greatly missed.
