Jude Bloomfield — 30 November 2021

Mary's exquisite tribute summed up to me Stuart's most endearing human qualities which imbued his historical research, writing, teaching and public roles as much as his relationship to his kids and grandkids - his curiosity about the world and people, desire to understand and share his knowledge and sense of adventure. Personally I will always be grateful for the support he and Marthe gave me as a young student in Cambridge who felt socially at sea and hospitality when I visited Australia. I will remember Stuart's gentle... and not so gentle mocking of absurdity ... his courage and enlarged empathy in the face of his painful illness. Condolences and long life to Martha and all the family Love Jude (London UK)
