Our deepest sympathies to the Widen Family. We have long and fond memories of our times with Stu and Tom had the good fortune to travel with Stu to Utah to visit our friend Mike Vinje just a few weeks ago. We'll remember Stu forever and cherish all the great and of course fun filled times we had with him. Love and prayers from the Klements.
