Charles E. Stuart, 65, passed away on Nov. 24.
Charles Stuart, 65, passed away on Nov. 24. His wake will be on Thursday, Nov. 29, and his funeral on Friday, Nov. 30.
Born May 19, 1953, Charles graduated from the Norwalk Public School system and worked at Yankee Gas/Eversource in Norwalk, The best father/grandfather anyone could ask for, Charlie was always there as a strong backbone to help any of his family or friends and made me the man I am today.
He would happily drop anything just to make sure that his family was taken care of. The world was a better place knowing that Charlie was around.
An avid motorcycle enthusiast, working on his bikes was his favorite hobby. Starting very early on in life, my dad knew the ins and outs of any chopper he was working on. On any given day you could see his big smile passing by you on a back road somewhere in the U.S.A.
I remember some great stories of the rides he took to Myrtle Beach, Tail of the Dragon, Kancamagus Highway, Laconia, Sturgis Bike Week and many more. He was indeed a Road Warrior and will be remembered as one.

____________________
A lover of nature and frequent outdoorsman with a NO FEAR attitude; it took him to many places that ended up being very special to him and his loved ones.
As close to home as the Norwalk Islands, Ward Pound Ridge Reservation or the White Mountains of New Hampshire, Charlie enjoyed gold panning, gem hunting, hiking, camping, fishing and enjoying a steak on the grill with an ice cold beer at the end of the day.
He was our hero, our father and one of the most special people anyone could have asked for. We will all miss his jokes and how much love he had for us all.
Charles was survived by his loving family, son Adam Charles Stuart, daughter Stephanie Antonia Stuart and granddaughter Haleigh Love Brown, all of Darien, and COUNTLESS family and friends who loved him dearly.
Charlie loved collecting and attaching pins to his leather vest/jacket. As a TRUE memorial, we ask that if you would like to bring something to attach to his vest/jacket that you please do so the night of Nov. 29. Let’s send him off like he was — a true veteran of the road!
Calling hours will be held from 4 to 8 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 29 at Edward Lawrence Funeral Home. A graveside service will be held at Spring Grove Cemetery at 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 30, followed by a celebration of life at the Weed Beach Tennis House.
In memory of Charlie, we have put together a Memorial Bench Program where any donations to the New Hampshire State Forest Department will go toward putting a bench and plaque in his honor at Franconia Notch State Park. More info will be available at the service.
