May your brother find peace! Prayers and love to the Busic and Martin Families.
I remember Stuart very well from growing up on Inglewood Rd. I have a special memory of his Mom teaching us sign language that I remember to this day so we could communicate with him as young children. Please accept my sincerest condolences, prayers, strength, and love.
I am so sorry for yet another loss in your (& our) family. Stuart lived an inspirational life and you all did a wonderful job encouraging him to do so. Know that you are in our hearts, we are with you in thoughts & are sending prayers. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

Rest in peace dear friend
May the lord give you comfort and peace during this difficult time. I will always treasure the fun memories that Stuart and I shared. He will be greatly missed.
I am so sorry to hear of Stuart’s death. For many years I was always happy to see Stuart at the Harvest House when I was there to dance. He was a hard worker and always had a pleasant smile and waved hello. I will miss seeing him there.
My thoughts are with the family. I know he will be missed.
