Michael Ruback and Robin Steele from Chicago, IL

"Dear Cousin, I remember that whenever we'd see you two, you and Stewart always seemed to smile the same smile; very natural, warm and inviting. A bright and welcome sight, always. May the love you shared and the life you've lived together be with you and sustain you always. Sending our love through tears and smiles, Michael and Robin"

Francine Romero from Elgin, IL

"My deepest condolences to all of the family. I have fond memories of Stu on the soccer field and always respected and admired his honesty and fairness during the games. He had the best smile and knew how to lay down the law or call you out if you were being dangerous on the field. I also know how close he and his family were, had the pleasure of playing soccer with Jen. My heart goes out to you all."
