Dear Sandy,
My sincere condolences on the passing of Stuart.
He was the person who convinced me to become a squash coach for life, 35 years ago. After taking his Level 1 NCCP course in Vancouver, Stuart ignited my desire to become the best I could be as a coach & player, as well to become a better person (like Stuart!). I have many fond memories on court in competive battles at the PAC Rim and National Championships Stuart hosted. As well, the after squash social activities made Stuart’s events so memorable. Thanks for opening your home to all of us Sandy — Stuart’s passion for life, squash, friendship and laughter will carry on in our hearts.

Stuart introduced me to squash in 1981 at his first Victoria club where I also met sandy
Having just lost my father I know the grief sandy must be feeling-so sorry
Because of Stuart’s passion I still play at age 63!
May he Rest In Peace
