We have just watched this service for Stu and what a lovely and fitting tribute it was to him. Unfortunately we could not attend this service as we were in the UK. Over many years Stu was a loyal friend and we shared many happy times together. Stu had a wonderful "tidy gene" that I never seem to have picked up despite Stu urging me to tidy this or that up. He was also the most 'on time" person I have ever met. if we were going somewhere together you could set the clock on Stu arriving bang on time. We both miss him very much here in Blenheim. Sophie, you were an absolute star in this service. Stu was immensely proud of you.

My big brother. A safe port in a storm. Literally. Whenever I was stranded at Wellington Airport due to bad weather he would come and get me and take me back to his place for the night. One particular time I remember I was about 10 yrs old. He had just bought the newest Solid Gold Hits LP and on it was Eagle Rock. I played it over and over again until he and Diane got so sick of hearing it he set me up with headphones. I will miss him dearly. He will be forever in my heart ♥ xx
