Richard "Dick" Stuart (28 Aug 1931 - 30 Nov 2015)

In loving memory of Richard "Dick" Stuart who sadly passed away on 30th November 2015

Richard was born in 1931 in Bethnel Green, London and was part of a typically large East London family of those times. He had seven Brothers and Four Sisters.

Charles, John, Elbert, Brian, George, Steven, Lillian, Sylvia, Genie and Gloria.

He met my Mum, Irene at a skating rink in Forest Gate. Mum was the dancer and Dad the speed skater. They fell in Love and were married for sixty four years.

Dad and Mum discovered a new life and adventures when they joined their Country and Western clubs. They made so many new friends and travelled everywhere to watch bands play and have a dance. They had a better social life than me.

As a boy Dad took me to the cinema every week and we must have seen every movie ever released.

Mum and Dad were never apart and went everywhere together. Every night they kissed and told one another how much they loved each other.

Dad was the life and sole of the party and made friends with everyone he met. He was never down and was always upbeat even during the last days of his life.

People I meet that knew Dad always had a good word to say about him and I am so proud that he is my Dad.

A Loving Husband, Father and Brother.

We will Always Love You and you are in Our Hearts forever.

Dick leaves behind his Wife, Irene, and Son, Mark
