To whom it may concern,

This  being my first character reference letter it may not appear to be any sense accurately constructed or a work of art but it is a work of truth.

I have known Stu Addley  approximately a year. Stu  is the epitome of the cliché  you can't judge a book by its cover but as I discovered his heart is bigger even than his  baggy trousers and his ever ready smile and is friendly and genuine with or without his teeth.

I have worked with him in the CO-OP, he is dependable organized responsible and  the Co-Op could not exist without his valuable assistance.

I have asked him to help me with various projects a few including constructing and coordinating the favorite booth at the Westminster Community Halloween Party which was a huge success. He was  invaluable at organizing a euchre night at  our community and is also one of the very few regulars that come  to our executive meetings at the Co-Op.

I have been to his house for tea and much to my chagrin he makes better tea than me and his house is much tidier than mine.

As a father he seems kind consistent loving deeming praise and scolding with equal amounts of love concern and justice. He is firm but with a gentle hand his children are well behaved polite friendly kids always willing to do odd jobs to help their neighbors. If  Child Behavior = You!  then Stu you have done a fine job. What more can I say? I like him as a friend and  respect him as a neighbor. He  is one of the few right-on  human beings.

 Sincerely Your Friend.
