Can’t believe you’ve been gone for 12 years

Dear Bo,
  I just heard about Stu's passing and I am so sorry.  We teachers from BOSCO in Belton always had a good time at the Daily and I being a huge Tiger fan loved seeing Stu!  God bless you and my prayers are with you and your family.  Debbi Twellman and Marian Stuart

Sad to hear this.  Our band convinced Mike and Stu to allow bands to play the Daily Limit.  We played there a lot almost a house band.  I remember those evenings playing at the Daily Limit with Stu behind the bar fondly.
I drank a whole bottle of Baileys one night and upon getting the bar tab (and realising I was paying Stu for the privlidge of drinking and working there) I must have freaked out.  He cut me a massive deal on the bar tab and informed me that I had drank more than one while bottle.
We always spent the last 1/2 hour pushing the patrons out and then would finiish the evening having a drink with Stu.
Very nice guy - always had a smile on his face.

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Stu's passing. He was one of my best guy friends in High School at SW. May you rest in peace, my Friend, until we can share another cold one again with our memories and laughs.
Karen Snyder

Will miss you.  Miss your smile and your laughter.  I know you are dancing in heaven.  The Grinhams

So SORRY for your loss Stuart was a great & fun guy with a great smile. Knew Stuart for over thirty years from the Kelly's Bar days.

I just heard today from a friend about Stu.  I am SO sorry to here he's gone, and wish I had heard earlier so I could have come to the funeral.  My thoughts and prayers to Bonita and to Stu's family and friends.  He gave my band a chance to play up at the Limit years ago, and it was always my favorite place to play.  He will be greatly missed.

For Stu's Family,
We will never forget that smiling face, wonderful laugh and great Mizzou fan. We had the pleasure being customers of Stu's at the Limit. We all lost a wonderful and kind person who will be deeply missed. You knew Stu had a lot of people that cared about him, because of all that attended his services.  You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Gentry family,

Bonita, I was very sadden to here of Stue's passing, We always enjoyed a laugh or two while I cut his hair. I have been Stue's barber for some 35 years and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts are with you and I will not forget his Tiger spirt.   Leslie Cavallaro, Plaza West Hair Design,

Bonita; You dont know me but I knew Stu for about 25 years. He was a good friend and more than that he was a good human being. He helped me out a lot over the years and I am going to miss him. We fished together; went to a few ball games and drank a few beers. Any way Im thinking about you and I will say a little prayer for you all. Stu was the best.

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Stu's passing.  As a friend that dates back to high school days I will cherish my memories of him, he will always be "Cool Hand Luke" to me. He will be missed by many!

Stu will always be a cherished part of the Davis family.  He was a great, great, great friend to my stepmom, Pam and my father, Steve.  I will miss the bantering back and forth about Nebraska vs. MU football and just the presence of him. Stu was an infectious person and always had a smile on his face.  We will miss you tremendously Stu.  Rest in peace.

I have been out of the country for the past week and just learned of Stu's passing.We had alot of fun together growing up and the memories won't be forgotten. RIP old friend.

Bo, I am so sorry for your loss. I just heard about this from Mary. Danny and my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Stu's and my backyard touched growing up so we knew each other our whole lives.  Stu came by being loving and kind rightly - his grandmother, MiMi, was also.

I'm sure Billy Duncan, Stu's best friend who lived next door growing up, and Stu are raising hell in Heaven together - and they are both deeply missed here.

I'm speechless.  May his loved ones be at peace during their time of healing.  I feel your pain.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you and your family at this very difficult time.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the family, co-workers and friends of Stu's.  He was a good friend to many.  We will miss him greeting us with his warm smile...

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. Stu was always so good to his customers and we were blessed to have such a great place to hang out.He will be missed by so many. God Bless. Barb Wunsch

When I turned 21, my mom told me to go to Kelly's and ask for Stu Gentry and "tell him who you are."  Stu's dad was my dad's best man when my mom and dad got married. I always felt like he was part of my family and I will miss him deeply.

Bonita so sorry about this.  Such a tragic loss.  He was a hell of a good guy.  As our kids grew up and needed more attention, we didnt make it up to the Limit as often, but Stu always made it enjoyable when we did.  our prayers are with you.

Pam and I were deeply saddened to hear  of Stu's passing. We ve known him since high school. Stu was a great guy, fun to be with and a good friend. So sorry he s gone. Our condolences to his family. Craig and Pam Eisenberg

We're so shocked and saddened to hear of Stu's passing.  We've had the pleasure of playing at the Daily Limit for 15 years and really enjoyed being back in there a few weeks ago and seeing Stu.  He will be dearly missed.

The O'Brien boys who knew Stu from Kelly's and the Daily Limit these many years were very sad to hear of his sudden passing.  Stu's smile and zest for life will always be an inspiration to those who knew him.  Don O'Brien

May God, Papa Nick, Biz and all their puppies greet Stu at Heavens Gate.

Stu was a good guy and easy to be around back in High School at SW as well as the times I had a chance to visit with him since.  May the following days be one of rememberance and I know personally that with time you the family will begin to be filled with fond memories to carry you all forward thru this most difficult time.

Bo and Family; My thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time. Stu was a good man and he will be truly missed! God Bless-

Bonita, You don't know me but I had known Stu for over forty years.  I know all will miss him and as the previous notes so ably demonstrate he had an irreplaceable laugh and smile and that is hard to find. I for one will miss him greatly.  Living on the east coast I only saw him every few years but it was always a good time. My thoughts are with you.

Bo,  I was shocked and saddened to here of Stu's passing last week, and, as I told you, will keep you in my thought and prayers.  Wished Stu had given me a call.  Will miss seeing him, and please call me if there is anyting I can do.

I will always remember his smile and laugh.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Southwest High School Class of 69

Bonita, and Family,
Stu and I graduated from Southwest High School together in 1969. I stopped by The Daily Limit to ask him to please attend out 40th high school reunion last August. I'm glad I got to see him then, as he was happy to see me and another classmate who accompanied me in my visit to his business. Seeing him at our reunion, and being able to get caught up briefly on our past, made me feel great. May his memory be for a blessing, and I extend to each and every one of you my sincerest sympathy.

Bonita, I am Stu"s cousin Vicki.  I want to let you know how devistated I am by this loss.  Since I was a child I have always looked up to Stu.  He is 10 years older than I am and when I was little I just thought he was the coolest thing walking.  I am so deeply sorry for your loss and am sorry that the first time i will meet you will be on Tuesday.  I will always remember his infectious smile and great laugh.  My thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

Vicki Gentry Ferguson

I've known Stu all my life, as have my brother and sister who will be saddened to learn of his death. I have lived in Texas for 30 years now, but always enjoyed seeing him when I came home. Many times, too often to count, I would go specifically to Stu's place of work, not to visit the place, but to see Stu's smiling face on the other side of the bar.
Robb Tipton.

I am deeply sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and the children.

We are so sorry to hear of Stu's passing. Please accept our sincere condolences.

Bonita, I am so sorry for your loss and there are never the right words to say about something so sudden and tragic. I wil always remember the fun we all had at the Kentucky Derby,and the time Melinda and I spent with you guys at your bar,that was so much fun. Memories make us all immortal. God Bless.
