Just saw this thread for the first time.

God give your family strength and honor, Bob; and peace to your son. It doesn't end here, and we're not alone in the suffering of this life. (Which is much of the point to Christmas season per se, come to think of it.)

On behalf of Grace, Jacob, Denise, myself and our families, I would like to thank you all for your support and donations, which I assure you are very welcome and will be put to good use while Stuarts affairs are being put into order.

He had an amazing send off, with an estimated 200 people attending the funeral, which was very touching. Stuart was a well liked man and had many friends, not only from places he had worked at, but also from his school days, and we were very gratified that so many of them attended to say goodbye to him.

He was a keen golfer, and, by his own admission, not a terribly good one. The group of pals with whom he played said they will now obtain a trophy, the 'Stuart Ellis Cup', and when they hold thier touramnets, they will award the cup to whoever gets the worst score. Its the sort of thing that would have appealed to Stuarts sense of humour.

Finally, I would like to offer a big thank you to our dear, and very special friend, Doug, who organised the gofundme for the kids. Thank You Doug and Terri for all you have done.

Very sincere thanks from us both;
Robert and Denise.

Terri and I are still so sorry about Stuart's passing, but I'm glad he had a grand send off. You and Denise and the whole family are very much in our thoughts these days.


Let me also express my deep gratitude for everyone's support, emotionally and financially to Bob and Denise during this time. The Grogheads family is a crew to be proud of.
