I was deeply saddened to learn about the passing of Stuart. I first met him through one of his longtime college friends, whom I had serendipitously connected with on a mobile networking application. This mutual friend thoughtfully introduced me to Stuart, knowing he would offer candid, insightful, and immensely helpful advice during my internship at IBM.
Although we never directly worked together, Stuart generously took the time to mentor me, offering invaluable guidance blended with his signature humor and genuine sincerity. He shared many memorable stories and lessons from his extensive experience at IBM, making me feel welcome and valued. I am but one amongst many who will deeply miss his candid advice, unique perspective, and remarkable personality.

Subject: Announcing the passing of Stuart Litel
Stuart. J. Litel passed away on April 19, 2025 at his home in Waban, Massachusetts. Stu was the beloved son of the late Joseph and Barbara E. (Sulkin) Litel of Newton, Massachusetts. Robin Chapman was his loving domestic partner for 20 years in Waban. He was a dear nephew to Barry and Nancy Sulkin of Boca Raton, Florida and a loving cousin of Roberta & Kenny Small of Boca Raton, Florida, and to Sheryl & David Saper of Lake Worth, Florida. The funeral service is at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel, 475 Washington Street, Canton, Massachusetts on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 at 1:00 PM . Graveside services are to follow at Sharon Memorial Cemetery, 40 Dedham St. Sharon, MA at the conclusion of the Funeral Service.
Not yet finalized is a post funeral event being planned at an as yet unknown relatively nearby place. I will advise soon as to the location when it becomes known and it will also be distributed by the Stanetsky Memorial Chapel on the day of the service. I will have some personal recollections as time and memory permit in the near future.
