That sucks. RIP Stu. I hope they let you take your Viking horns with you.

RIP

RIP Stu.

God must have needed an angel to fix his garage door opener really bad.....

Repair In Peace Stu, you will be missed for a very long time.

Goodbye Stu, I will never forget you

Awww, man, that was fast.
RIP my Mopar Brother.

RIP Stu.

I will miss you on here.

RIP Stu.

Sad & Shocked this happened so quick. I’m glad you didn’t have to suffer long like some do. RIP

Bummer.

RIP

Something needed to be fixed or improved in Heaven.

So sad to hear about this. I always made sure I would go visit him every year at the De Anza show and talk with him for a while. RIP Stu.

At least it was not a prolonged period of suffering for him> prayers to his family

The most valuable currency is True Friendship.

Condolences to the family.

He was the richest man here.


Jim

God Speed, prayers for you and your family!
Kevin

Our condolences to Sally and the kids. Stu was great guy. May he Rest In Peace.

Godspeed friend

even tho we kinda knew it was coming, it still hits especially hard, as he was a well respected Mopar guy, as well as a husband and father. even tho i never got to meet him i felt like i knew him, and the advice he gave me on my openers for my shop doors was spot on, he will be missed each and every day

RIP Stu.

Ah damnit. RIP Good sir.

Godspeed brother. Rest in peace.

RIP

Sorry for the loss but strength and peace to the family.

Well crap....

My heart goes out to Sally and the girls.

Dammit. Knowing it was coming didn't make it any easier.

Godspeed sir. Prayers to your family.

So sad. He will be missed immensely.

Stu make some noise up there so we can hear ya..

Sad to hear that...
RIP Stu

Stu always was posting funny images on Facebook.

We belonged to the same group there.

Every post I made - he was positive and enthusiastic in his response.

I enjoyed every comment or image he posted and would reciprocate gratitude.

I took this image this evening of a beautiful Kansas Sunset.

Also included is one of Stu’s last Facebook posts.

I am crying right now ...


Jim

Devastating. A loss of a great person and building block of this bunch. He will be missed.

Despite how conversations around here get sometimes, we're all mortal and are very special to someone. Be kind to each other.

Dammit! Never met him in person....had a couple private messages with him is all. May he RIP and prayers to the family.

RIP Stu,prayers to all he left behind

At least everybody got their chance to express their feelings for hopefully his benefit, while the end was approaching.

Not often does life offer that.

There is a message here..

RIP

Mention Stu, and this is the pic that always came to (my) mind.........

R.I.P. Stu So sorry to hear this !

RIP Stu. You will be missed by so many. Prayers for your family

When it's your time, it's your time. But dammit, I was hoping to have one more drink with him at the MPM Clubhouse. Rest easy, Stu, and thanks for a great Thanksgiving.

RIP Mr. Harmon, you will be forever missed...

Rest in peace Stu. I enjoyed chatting with him and will really miss him. When I heard he was sick and mentioned wanting to meet Danny from Count's Kustoms, I sent an email off to every email address I could find for them as well as their Instagram. Unfortunately, I didn't get very far with it. I'm sorry I couldn't make it happen buddy......rest easy.

No words can portray,

But all the blessings to Our Man!

You will NEVER be forgotten among us.

Shake hands, I’ll just bet Unlawful will show you the way...

Gods speed Stu, you'll be missed here.

Stu is one of those guys that everyone wants meet and hang with. You guys that got to party with Stu I am envious We gotta find a cure for this horrible disease too many good people are leaving us too early.
So long buddy you will be sorely missed around here

Here's one for you buddy

Gus

Going to miss his posts... man cancer sucks.

Sincere condolences to the Harmon Family.

When I read the other day that hospice was at his home I knew the time was near. Condolences to his family.
I had the pleasure of being his secret santa one year and also spoke to him on the phone as he was giving me some advice on my garage door.
He will definitely be missed on moparts

Incredibly well said Jim. He was one of those people you were fortunate to cross paths with. It didn't matter how long or how well he knew you. He was equally gracious to all. I was only in his neck of the woods one time (out in SF from Wisconsin) and he took time out of his day to pick me up at the BART station to take me cruising in the road runner. His wife was clearly used to the frequent car buff company that he was surrounded by as she made us a great thanksgiving dinner and shared time and stories in the Stu man cave.

RIP Stu!

Godspeed Stu............we all love you.

Mike

(thanks GT for this nice photo of Stu the prez)

Stu was one of the first people to welcome me to this site when I joined back in 1997. Like everyone else, I'm gonna miss his sense of humor, and how welcoming he was to anyone who wanted to stop by to see him when they visited his area. Stu helped me more than once with my garage door, and he is one of a few here who's number is in my phone. R.I.P. Stu, and thanks for being a friend.

Well this sucks, never met Stu but I did talk to him a few times.

Great guy, RIP

RIP Stu, always a great guy with a big friendly personality and a pleasure to read his post and welcoming spirit to all on this board. His Mid-Pen Reference confused many regarding his location, I always found that amusing :-) I always looked forward to his event coverage over the years.

Prayers and best wishes to his family for their loss, even more difficult this close to the Holidays. Godspeed.

My condolences to Sally, Deanna, and family. You will be missed.

so sorry to hear this. I never met Stu, or even talked to him, but the world has truly lost a great Man. Probably a blessing that he went quick and didn't suffer. I'm taking my road runner out tomorrow in his honor. Thoughts and prayers for his loved ones.

X2. Damn this is sad. Stu, even though I never met you, I will miss you. Will never forget. RIP my friend. (learned from him Liftmaster is the best residential garage door opener...)

Isn't much more that can be said.

A million tears

God Bless Stu ....make sure Gary has good company ...As well as Lab Rat and others, I probably forgot

Rest In Peace Stu I wish I could have met you you will be missed.

Great guy. I hope he left peacefully. He took the time to help me troubleshoot my overhead door at the shop that was giving me trouble. He talked me through the repair. He was spot on with his instructions and I fixed it to work properly. Not many take the time to help a stranger. Thanks, bud. Prayers for the family.

RIP Stu. You are forever remembered.

RIP Stu

God Bless

Not fair. Praying for his family. I know he is happy now in heaven.

R.I.P. Stu

RIP Stu.

You will be missed greatly by all the people who's lives that you brightened up with your humor.

See you in Valhalla. RIP.

Yes RIP Stu

He was what made Moparts Great and Fun

He already is missed

Can anyone confirm the year Stu was born? Was it 1960? Just want to know so I can put it into a little graphic I'm working on to honor his memory.

RIP

God bless him and his family sorry to hear about this..

Stu was a kind and caring person.RIP Stu!

RIP Stu.

My condolences to his family

Carsten

the first thing that caught my eye when i tuned in this morning was the headline Stu had passed.
even though we all knew the end was coming, it was still a shock.
before i read through the comments, i said a few prayers and wiped away tears.
i really don't quite know what to say. thoughts and prayers to the family seem so empty when Stu was such a great, kind and giving man.
however, what else can one say at a time like this ?
he was like a brother to everyone he came in contact with, and he helped me several times with garage door problems over the years, the latest time was two years ago when he helped me pick replacement doors and openers.
last year, Stu was my "secret santa". he joked that he was going to "re-gift" to his victim, and i ripped back and forth with him on that. i don't know if it was an "arranged" pick, but as son as the package arrived, the address gave it away. the gift was a really neat pen & ink drawing of the "bullitt" cars with charlie brown driving the charger, and snoopy driving the mustang. this will be a very cherished possession for a very long time. it will remind me of Stu every day, and of that, i am greatly, greatly thankful.

Rest In Peace, Ride In Peace, and Repair [garage doors] In Peace my friend i never got to meet in person.
thoughts, condolences, and prayers to your wife and family in this time of grief.
i'm very, very sorry for your loss.

Knowing it was coming didn't make it any easier to hear.
RIP and Godspeed, my friend.



Tim

Words can't express the sadness and feelings we all have . . . condolences to Stu's family and his Moparts family . . . RIP

This is tuff news being so soon. Last week when the member posted his addy I bought a card for the first time in 30 years, Im not a card guy. So I mailed it Thursday with a note and when I did I thought "I hope he gets it".

Never easy. I hope the best for his wife and daughter.

Sad to hear , but I'd like to think he is now able to come back again with a healthy body and have fun all over again !

RIP Stu,prayers for the family.

RIP Stu, this is a giant loss to the Moparts community!

Rest in Peace Garage door man! I never met him but had him on facebook and his club page. Enjoyed his posts both here and there. I never will forget posting asking a garage door question and him giving me his number to call and worked me through it and then me posting on here about San Francisco information, He replied and told me to stop by and have a beer. Never got by but I can only imagine what it was like for his wife. Each day had to be an adventure not knowing who he might invite over. Definitely a very welcoming heart. Prayers to his family for healing and comfort both these first few days as well as weeks and months and years to come.

corey

Some of my fondest memories of Stu seem soo much more precious now. Going to his clubhouse and having hippy vodka. Insisting 'hugs' were appropriate at car meets. Facebook posting with insane content. over 25 years of him doing some fun stuff with his cars. We all can go on and on about how wonderful Stu is and how much he has enriched people lives just by being himself. His family must be beyond devastated for loosing someone soo loving and caring as him. My most heart felt condolences go to his family. I leave many a pray for him as he was more than one person. A husband, father, a fun guy, a car enthusiast, a fighter til the end. I feel like I should run my garage door at 'half mast' in memory of a man we all enjoyed calling a friend. Thank you Stu for many years of enjoyable conversations and contributions to our hobby. We will miss you and may the Lord share his light of passion apon you in heaven.

August 18, 1959... One week older than me.

Sigh...

Thank you! Bruce

Exactly.

It's a dark day for the Mopar Community.

Thank You Stu Harmon for what you offered to the Moparts community and all your gear head friends on the West Coast. Dearly missed but not forgotten. Rest easy brother.

Man.

I still hadn't accepted he was ill.

It's beyond sad. My prayers for the family and all his friends whom are burdened with sorrow.

Truly the world is a lesser place without him.

I can’t believe how fast he went. Sad, really sad.

RIP Stu,you were a good guy.

RIP Stu

Saw this on Facebook. Haven't logged in here in a while.

RIP Stu

He was the richest man here.


Jim [/quote]

Without question Jim. Stu did not know of any strangers. The most genuine person I may EVER meet.

Found some pics I believe to be August 2008 when the wife and I were out in San Fran then drove up the PCH all the way to the Puget Sound. This was the start of that awesome trip, what a way to start, thanks Stu and family!

And we were fortunate enough to be there during a car show that Stu was the main man, AGAIN! Loved his Roadrunner then, love it now. I really wish I had a better camera then, but you get the idea.

I haven't logged into here in a couple years. I only learned on Wednesday that Stu was sick. Would have never known by his Facebook profile. What a great guy he was. I'm gonna miss those bear hugs. RIP Stu!!!

Oh snap...I had no idea he was even sick. I haven't been around here much lately. Damn, what a huge loss. RIP brother...smoke some tires up there and fill the skies with clouds. Wow...unreal...

Rest in Peace, Stu. You'll be missed and remembered always.

When walking up to a golf green, prevailing etiquette asks you to repair your ball mark and one other left unrepaired by someone else.

Stu was that way with life - he did his share and then did a few more people's share while he was at it - always without complaint nor in search of praise.

May we all learn from his example.

Well said .

As did I, never a reply... RIP Stu..., Kevin

This is devastating news. RIP fellow car guy! You will be greatly missed by all those that came to know you through the forum! Thanks for all your help with garage door issues! Thanks again....RIP friend!

I believe you are incorrect. He was nearly a year younger than me even though we graduated from high school the same year. I'm Oct. 31, 1959. It should be 1960.

RIP Stu.

Wow, very sad... Stu was such a fixture here. He will be sadly missed. I hope we all can live as happily and as lively as he did.
RIP Stu..:(
