A MESSAGE TO OUR VINYL CAFE COMMUNITY
It is with deep
sadness that the Vinyl Cafe family announces that Stuart McLean passed
away today, February 15th, 2017, at age 68.
We are heartbroken.
But we are also finding comfort in memories of our dear friend.
Stuart
always emphasized that the world is a good place, full of good people,
trying to do their best. He believed in people’s extraordinary capacity
for love and generosity. And he had faith in our ability to work
together for the common good.
He was, in other words, firmly
committed to celebrating the positive, joyful and funny side of life.
Stuart assured us that even in difficult times, we can find things to be
grateful for and ways to laugh. Now that he is gone, we will try hard
to do just that.
Stuart connected us – to our country and to each
other. He entertained us, he made us think, he made us smile.
Occasionally he made us cry. And, through all of that, he reminded us
that life is made up of small moments. We never know which ones will be
forgotten and which ones will stay with us forever.
So today, and
hopefully every day, we’re going to celebrate Stuart’s life by trying
to make each moment count and by being grateful for all of them.
We are certainly grateful for each and every moment we shared with Stuart.
We will miss him.
PUBLIC TRIBUTE
There will be a public tribute at a later date. The family requests privacy at this time.
DONATIONS
The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to:
Stuart
worked at Camp Kanawana for five summers, and he often said that it
changed his life. This fund will help children and teens without the
financial means to attend Camp YMCA Kanawana, a community where they
learn to care for themselves, each other and the environment.
