Stu Stays on Top of the Stack

There is so much I want to blog about, but I don't want to do it yet because I believe Stu deserves to stay at the top of the stack for a while longer. I'm getting choked up just thinking about him right now, so I hesitate to blog about something else and as a result push him down the blog page.

I do want to say thank you for all of the notes that have poured into me during the last day or so. I didn't write the blog for any other reason than to honor my friend and to put into words what I experienced on Sunday and in my years knowing Stu.

Here are a few thoughts that have been shared with me... (Forgive me for slightly trimming or paraphrasing your words)

Nicki Loranger - Your blog was unbelievable. Seriously. We’re going to share this with the family assuming you are OK with that…

Jaclyn McNutty - thank you SO much for getting that out..I am sure it helped you and will help many others cope with this blow.

Ryan Star - Thank you for your beautiful blog about stu. He was the best and will be missed.

Jamie Feldman - I just read your blog post about Stu's funeral and I don't think it could have been better said. I was Stu's first assistant in management for about 4 months. I worked with him for 3 1/2 years before I left. He was a wonderful person and my role model for being a father and working in the music industry because he always did whatever he could every night to either put his kids to bed or say goodnight. And now that I have kids, I do my best to rush home from Hollywood to Brentwood or Santa Monica so I could have at least the end of a meal with my family and put my kids to bed.

Jennie Smythe - I haven't called, but I have obviously been thinking about Stu and you guys. I must have received well over 50 calls over the last few days. I was stuck in NY on Saturday and couldn't get to the service by Sunday. What an amazing community we have... full of characters, full of life, full of art. I can hear Stu's voice in my head... mostly yelling at me. :-) But, I've laughed and cried, and am thankful that because of Stu and my time in this crazy business that I've met the most incredible people.

Simon Glickman - Just wanted to say I thought your post about Stu Sobol was really moving. I didn't know him, but a lot of my former colleagues (and current friends and clients) did. Now I feel like I knew him a little bit.
