Body

Stuart died of lung cancer Sept. 8, 2024, at home in Monroe Township, N.J., surrounded by his loving family.

He came to us from Highland Park (N.J.) High School, where he was a member of the track team, treasurer of the student council, and sports correspondent for the New Brunswick Home News. At Princeton, he was head manager of the track team, member of the Chemistry Club and Pre-Medical Society, and dined at Elm Club.

He married Sheila Berman in 1964, earned a medical degree from Yale in 1966, and served in the Army from 1968 to 1970. Stuart and Sheila had three daughters. Stuart entered the private practice of radiology, joining the University Radiology group where he practiced for 39 years.

Beyond work, he was active in his synagogue and on the Schools Committee of the Princeton Alumni Association of Monmouth County for 25 years. He enjoyed travel, golf, and bridge.

For our 50th-reunion yearbook he wrote, “I will always be grateful for what Princeton has given to me and has meant to me.”

Stuart is survived by Sheila; daughters Lisa ’89, Meredith ’92, and Sarah; their husbands; and six grandchildren. The class extends its condolences to all.
