Stuart Hope Obituary

Dear Ruth and family,

Ruth, my Marine Corps brother, Chuck Houseman, wrote that he introduced you and Stu. He also sent the obituary; its description of your life together fills me with happiness and optimism that Stu is where we're all destined to be. Thank you for all your love and care for a dear friend.

I was at Dreher with Stu and in the same class with Bunny. In fact, I was in Bunny's Book Club, the only guy! Stu and I were also fraternity brothers at Carolina. Those were fun packed and care free years where we knew nearly everyone and whose memories are cherished forever.

May God comfort and bless you all,

The Hope family will be in our thoughts and prayers now and in the days to come.

Bubba, Stuart and Mena...God Bless you all during this sorrowful time...Take comfort that you Dad is with God

Sincere condolences to Bubba, Stuart Jr. and Mena on the loss of your father. I remember you all fondly growing up next door and baby sitting for you. You and your families are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very fortunate to have known Mr. Hope and have witnessed first hand just what he meant to the whole family. I met Ruth thru my mother and she also meant allot to me.May God Bless you all and Big Stew will be missed very much.
