Subject: RE: Obit: Stuart Reed Brighton (29 June 18)
In the midst of all these worthy tributes to Stuart, I need to say something very important. People can do silly things when they hear bad news and I have been particularly stupid.
I did not hear the news from Stuart's family but from another source. My first instinct was to write the tribute that I posted above and I did this without consulting his wife. This meant that it was posted here before the family had had a chance to inform people in their own way and time. In doing so I have caused additional unnecessary pain. I am very sorry and would like to apologise for my thoughtless action.
