Stuart Olesker's funeral
Transcript
00:00Okay, my name is Roger Goldsmith. I met Stuart I think in about 2005, 2006. I was an engineer
00:16but I gave up engineering to write plays and film scripts. And he would always read my
00:23scripts and comment on them, always constructively, always with lots of encouragement, etc. And
00:30we met on a regular basis. Whenever I wrote something new, we'd have a coffee and we'd
00:36talk about it. And then I wrote a short film script called Wedding Shots. And he was invited
00:45to perform in that. It's about a 15 minute DVD, which I have lots of copies of. So yeah,
00:54he was an amazing man, always so warm and understanding and such wisdom. I will remember
01:03him for his wisdom. He was always smiling. And yeah, you know, when he put on productions,
01:09he would walk around the town with this sack cloth bag over his shoulder with lots of flyers
01:18in and he would just stop everyone and say, you know, when I see this, when I see that,
01:22a great guy and he will be truly missed.
