William Bannister wrote a sympathy message

“I have known Stu since 1983 when I started work at Andover Controls. I have not seen Stu for several years and I was saddened when I heard of his passing from a co-worker at Andover Controls. Stu was always the adult in the room at ACC and I trusted his friendship. I know he loved his children above all. He was a good example of what a loving father should be. This world is a better place for him having been here.”
