He was a skilled craftsman, working specifically with sheet metal. He enjoyed collecting arrowheads, going to estate/yard sales, and working in his rose garden, or potting plants. He even had his mother’s Christmas and Easter Cactuses still thriving to the day. Stuart had a rose garden that was planted specifically for his late wife, Margaret. He also enjoyed collecting coins and had amassed quite the collection. Stuart loved the Lord and worshipping Him at Hope Church, where he was a charter member.
