Stuart was born on December 11, 1957 in Nantucket, Massachusetts. He was the son of Lewis and Janet (Coffin) Reichardt.

He had great love for children, devoting time as a Sunday School Teacher for many years and as a coach of one of his favorite sports, soccer. He was known on the soccer field as “Coach”. He was an active grandfather who tried to always be present for his grandchildren’s sporting events. In his spare time, he enjoyed tinkering with his salt water aquarium and gardening.
