The founder of the Oroville Veterans Memorial Park, and relentless advocate for the recognition of Butte County's veterans who lost their lives serving our country, passed away just weeks before the dedication of the park's Memorial Tile Wall that he worked 16 years to build.

Stu's inspiring enthusiasm is already missed, but his legacy will live on in our park.
