    Default Stewart 'Lodgesound' RIP

    It is with great sadness I have been asked by Phillip to tell everyone that Stewart sadly passed away Wednesday evening 21st June

    Stewart had been battling cancer for 2 years

    Anyone who new Stewart would already know what a great guy he was , Alway willing to help and educate us mear mortals , I spent some quality time with them and was amazed at their knowledge

    The team had regular apperences at Scalford hall and Audio Jumble , and normally put on a show stopping display for the many visiters .

    RIP Stewart mate , I will miss you

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    So sad... I can't believe it.

    Rest in Peace, Stewart - A truly nice guy. I will really miss his posts.

    Does anyone know his address so I can send my deepest sympathy? Please PM if you can help.

    What a blow to his family too. My deepest thoughts are with them.

    I was chatting with him regarding a reel to reel not long since, he said he had no time to fix the machine as his health wasn't great but I never knew it was Cancer.

    Very sad news indeed.

    That really is very sad news.

    Like others, I only knew of Stewart through his posting here. Even though tape as a source medium is no longer primary, I always found Stewart's posts interesting, informative and helpful.

    My condolences to his family.

    I have been phoning Stewart almost every day over the last few months and speaking to either him or his parents. I saw him last about ten days ago at his home in Surrey. We spent several hours together before he left his home for the final time to stay at his parents' house for the last days of his life. I spoke to his Mum yesterday evening, as he was slipping away.

    Stewart was one of the most generous people I have known - always willing to help and give good advice. His tea making was quite good too. His work colleagues at the British Film Institute are distraught, as he was a lynchpin of their video/film archiving organisation.

    He bore his last illness with great fortitude. He often called me for advice when things weren't going well - it was a way for me to give something back to him. His parents and sister have been amazing in helping Stewart through his emergency operation last year, his chemotherapy and then his recurrence earlier this year.

    Whilst I am so sad to have lost a good friend, I am relieved that he is no longer suffering and in a better place now. Rest in Peace my friend.

    This is really sad news. I spent some time chatting to Stewart at Scalford a few years ago about his work on the audio side of film restoration/archiving.

    He was a lovely man and a true gent.

    Requiescat in Pace.

    Like many I didn't know Stewart, except through his posts here and I envied folks who could chat in person with him and see/hear his gear. His legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved him, knew him and in his words here and the equipment he set up for folks.

    A sad loss to his family, friends and the audio world.

    RIP Stewart
    Regards Neil
