Ro Stuart's family, please accept my sympathy and condolences on Stuart's passing. I spent many Happy hours in his company when calling on him in his Pharmacy in Feilding in the 70s and they were times well spent. There was always friendly banter in the Chemists v Wholesalers cricket marches. My father (Don) from Kia Toa rugby also had great rapport with Stuart and the Feilding rugby club. A life well lived. Rest in Peace Stuart
