Thank you
The outpouring of grief and condolences from around Perth and the world, as
a result of Stuart’s travels and work, has been unbelievable.
Words cannot bring Stuart back to life, but they can and have ensured his loved
ones, and their friends, reconnect, build and bind with a fresh understanding of
perspective and what is really important, - family and friends.
Words seem inadequate but these encapsulate what Stuart would say, as
represented to me by one of his friends: “Please grieve for me but then go and
have an outstanding and rich life.”
Thank you to all who have contributed some love to try and assist us in our
devastating journey from September 27th until today. We also recognise your
pain and offer our continued contact in honour of Stuart.
The Celebration
We are celebrating Stuart at the Mosman Park Bowling Club cnr Bayview Tce
and Johnston St, whilst reflecting and looking over the Swan. Please join us
if you can for drinks, nibbles and Spanish Paella.
‘Life is not
measured by the
number of breaths
we take, but by the
moments that take
our breath away.’
20th November 1979 to
30th September 2015
There is no other like him.

Success
To laugh often and much
To win the respect of intelligent people
And the affection of children
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
And endure the betrayal of false friends;
To appreciate beauty
To find the best in others
To leave the world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child
Garden patch or redeemed social condition
To know even one life has
Breathed easier because you have lived
This is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
