I too am sorry to hear about Stuart. We attended the same elementary school and of course all the girls thought he was cool and cute. I remember him as being smart, a good student, a leader and a nice guy
I was saddened to hear about the passing of Stuart Plitman. He was my first boyfriend for about a minute, in 8th grade at Sligo Jr. High, till he took back the ring and moved on to greener pastures. I remember him as a really nice, smart, handsome guy, and I extend my sympathies to his family and friends.
I was the worst swimmer on the Wheaton Haven team, but it was worth the humiliation and those chilly, early-morning practices just to watch Stuart glide across the pool in his Speedo. At Sligo, Stuart stood out as a man in our midst -- a sweet and gentle man. Sharon, you are so lucky you got to be his girlfriend, even for a minute! Rest in peace, Stuart. A lot of people are thinking about you.
I am from the class of 71. I was so sadden and shocked to have first read about Stuart in the death notices in the Post I had a crush on Stuart at NHS and for a while. My deepest condolences to his family. What a wonderful guy you were Stuart. ❤️
On Jan. 24, 1969, Springbrook's highly ranked boys basketball team was scheduled to play at Northwood. It was our junior year. I was home that evening, sick as a dog with the flu and unable to play. Stuart replaced me, and by all accounts, he played the game of his life, as Northwood routed Springbrook, 90-75. I know this because after the game, the team came to my home and presented me with a brand new game ball, with the date and score written on it. I didn't score a point, wasn't even at the game, but I got the game ball, which I still have today. I've thought about that ball many times. I haven't seen Stuart in decades, and I don't know whether he also got a game ball that night. If I ever had the chance, I was planning on giving him the one I have...he deserved it!

I will always remember Stuart as the fastest swimmer at our Wheaton Haven pool. I watched him win many swim meets. He will be greatly missed.
