Having lived across the street for almost 40 years, I have seen first hand the rigour, time and dedication that has resulted in Stuart's extraordinary contribution in service of our Australian project.I will miss his neighbourliness - warm, a constant open countenance and funny. An entertaining quip or anecdote always at hand. A man who wore his learning lightly.I will miss his daily run. The lanky, slightly stiff armed gait disappearing down the street, often accompanied by a delighted canine companion maned usually after some hero or other from the pantheon of Stuart's mighty Brown and Gold.But mostly I will miss Stuart's face framed neatly in his study window as he worked lit from beneath by a soft lamp light that shone for the front of his home providing to us outside a constant and enduring comfort that all is well.
