The funeral details to celebrate the life of Retreat chef Stuart Law who died recently have been announced. 

Stuart's funeral will be held at St Laurence Church in Stroud on Tuesday, December 14 at 1pm.

The Retreat would like to thank everyone for their kind words, lovely memories and photos throughout this difficult time. 

A Facebook page with memories of Stuart was created after his passing.  

One such memory read: "I used to work in the Retreat and spent many a happy hour with Stu in the Kitchen on the lunch shift.

I loved Stu dearly, he was always a shoulder to cry on and quite simply just a fabulous man to be around."

Another read: "Ah Stuart. Such a cheerful, kind and friendly man. I worked in his kitchen for 5 or so years and never went a day without at least one belly laugh. I couldn't have imagined as a 15 year old boy that I would have a friend (even a muse! Ha ha - see my dodgy painting…) in someone who was a few times my own age. He always had a good story to tell, usually with a raised eyebrow, somewhere along the way. I miss you already Stuart."

After the service there will also be a celebration of his life at the Retreat, who are still making final arrangements and will be giving updates when needed.
