From George Tyson.
When I was first investigating my family roots in the 1990s it was Stuart who gave me support and encouragement and, with Olwen and Suzanne, welcomed me into the group. It was an honour and a privilege to get to know him. My thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with all who love(d) him. His Christian faith gives me the hope and confidence that we will, some day, all be reunited.

Dear Suzanne, Keturah, Caleb & Nathen and all the family, a little message to you from across the world, I am thinking of you all, I have wonderful memories of the times we got to share altogether. Mum sends her wishes and often talks about our camp on the farm and how lovely it was to reunite the family. Love to you all. Ria xx
Heartfelt condolences to Suzanne, Nathan, Keturah, and Caleb, and also the children.
Thank you to Caleb for enabling me to remotely view and share with you Stuart’s farewell service which was both sad yet uplifting and a few tears also fell here in Jersey which is the middle of the night.
To Nathan and Keturah, you did a brilliant and brave job giving beautiful speeches; I loved seeing all those photos and learning of Stuart’s past life. He never spoke much of himself. Our connection is a wonderful 1950s childhood in Wrose then good strict schooling at Woodend followed by Keighley Tech.
To Suzanne, you are in my thoughts a prayers as ever. And yes, as Keturah said, Stuart is gone way too early. So sad for you all.
