Mr. Stuart was a warm caring man who was my history teacher at Chester High School the last year he taught there. The world is a better place because of him. My thoughts and prayers go to his family.

Mrs. Stuart, Steve and Kelly,
Please accept my condolences in this difficult time. Mr. Stuart touched so many of our lives throughout the years. I have many fond memories of PE classes, basketball games and everyday encounters at school. We always knew where we stood and that we were supported. May the many stories you hear in the weeks to come bring you comfort and peace. You all will be in my prayers. -Sue (Schmidt) Wilson (CHS class of 1985)

I remember one year I went to buy a soda in the locker room. I put my 50 cents in and all of a sudden, the change dispenser opens up and all the coinage inside lands on the floor. My first thought was to pocket it, but I new Big Dad took care of the machines. So, the nice guy that I am returned all the money back except my 50 cents of course to Big Dad. So a few days later, Big Dad says to me: hold out your hand son. So I did, inside were at least 6 months worth of lunch tickets. R.I.P. MR. STUART!!!
