To the Delaney Family. Stu is going to be missed so much. He was definitely The GOAT! Loved all his Nova Scotia stories. He was our go to guy to fix anything. So many great memories of him growing up on Stratford Ave. Thinking of you all at this most difficult time. Love to all.
Dear Margie and Family,
So sorry to hear of Stu's passing. Although the times we spent together were sparse, our conversations were always interesting. Our employment with big manufacturing companies had many similarities that we often compared and laughed about when we realized that we had stories the almost were duplicates.
I very much enjoyed his company and I know many others did too.
He'll be remembered with thought of those discussions and the smiles that will continue with those memories.
God Bless you all. Rest in Peace, Stu.
