The world will be a sadder place without the joy of Stuart.
Our lives are richer for having known and loved Stuart. He will forever remain in our hearts.
Stuart and I were classmates and graduated together in 1960 from WTHS. I remember him as being a very respectful and likable person. I considered him a friend. Having had our 40th class reunion this year, I’m sorry he was unable to attend. My hearfelt sympathy goes out to the family and especially to his son.

I have been a customer of Stuart’s for 25 years. We have shared many pleasant moments. We had great discussions about politics, family, and current events. Stuart often told me that I reminded him of his mother. He showed affection and dedication to me and to many others. I will definitely miss him.
Stuart was a kind, caring individual who put the needs of others above his own needs. During my last appointment, he refused payment from a customer and asked that she go and put the money in the Salvation Army kettle.
Marty, your daddy was devoted to you and was so proud of you and our accomplishments. He could not have been happier when you graduated from ASU this summer. It meant a great deal to him that you returned to Asheville and had been so available to him.
Our prayers are with the family and friends. We will never forget Stuart. He has been a good friend.

I was saddened to hear about Stuart’s demise. I
will miss him greatly. He has been cutting my
hair for more than 15 years. He had a way about
him that made you trust him immediately — with

other family members. May God grant you peace and serenity during this time of loss.

I was so sorry to hear of Stuart’s death. I started the first grade with him and graduated with him. I considered him one of my very best friends. We always were laughing and enjoying life. My sincere sympathy goes to all members of his family.
Stuart was the most gifted hair stylist I’ve ever had. And we had loads of fun. I wondered what happened to him. Sad knowing he’s not here physically. Spiritually, always here. I was blessed to know him as long as I did.
