Stuart Teitler was my cousin. He died this past week at the age of 71. Sadly, he took his own life.

Stuart was quite a character. He was a world-renowned book collector whose passion was Lost Race Fiction.

He was a pretty good tap dancer too. I saw him at the “old” . He loved music and dancing.

He could write, and he could draw. He had a lot of friends at .

I wasn’t very close to my cousin, but I loved him.

Stuart is survived by his sister Terry, his brother Robert, and his cousins Steve, Jackie, Alan, Arlene, Stan and me.

There will be a memorial for Stuart on Sunday, Jan. 29, from 2-6 p.m. at The Pub in Albany.

Please add your memories of Stuart to this post. Many of you knew him better than I, and I know you really miss him.

--Cousin Edward, Albany, CA
