Instead he played baseball and was an average fielder and a poor hitter his former coach Dennis Bisso recalled. He also played basketball and was a Good shooter but rather slow said Dave Barriss his basketball coach. Stuart was born on dec. 18,1959, the son of an insurance Salesman and a part Lime bartender who was a natural entertainer with a new joke every Day recalled Stephen Reardon his Cousin. The family lived in a modest red Cape cod style House on a dead end Street and Young Chuck and his Brothers attended the roman Catholic elementary school run by the immaculate Conception Church when he graduated from vocational school in 1977, Stuart got a Job As a Cook at a now defunct italian restaurant in Revere the Driftwood. It was there that he met Carol Dimaiti. A Boston College student who was working As a waitress. He was very popular with the women and she fell madly in love with  said Rosemarie Bartolo who also worked there at the time. But Carol s father. Giusto Dimaiti who was the bartender in the Driftwood did t like him mrs. Bartolo said she had been going out with a boy who was a College student and like her was an italian american. Mrs. Bartolo recalled. Like Many people who knew them she said that where Carol was outgoing and talked about her problems pretty freely Chuck was quiet and reserved kind of introverted " in about 1981 Stuart gave up cooking and applied to Kakas & sons the fur store. To told his teacher lord he was having trouble with his legs standing All  both Ted and Jay Kakas co owners of the furrier refused requests for an interview. But in october soon after the shooting Ted Kakas told the Boston Globe. He was just an All round terrific Guy. I think i can say he was loved by All of our  the store was closed for Carol Stuart s funeral because everyone who worked with Chuck wanted to attend. To All appearances things were going Well for Chuck and Carol. They got married in 1985, bought a House in Reading a much More affluent town than Revere and after Carol became pregnant last year they began buying baby clothes and furniture. Carol was due in december. Carol was so Happy and Sweet said her Hairdresser. Mali sheikh in Newton near the publishing company where Carol worked. I was always telling her you never seem to have any problems " it was Only after Stuart s apparent suicide 10 Days ago that another Side surfaced. Maureen Vajdic the stuarts neighbor remembered that Carol had begun complaining last summer alter she got pregnant that Charles was going out on Friday nights by himself and staying out late. At the time Stuart was becoming interested in a 22-year-old woman who worked in the Kakas shop Deborah Allen. Friends say Aden a graduate of Brown University is strikingly attractive. They went out for meals together and last fall before the shooting she took him on a tour of her prep school. Stuart gave her a pair of sneakers and a sweatshirt. After the shooting Allen began calling him regularly in Boston City Hospital where he Lay recovering from his stomach wound for six weeks. In a statement made Public by her lawyer Thomas e. Dwyer Allen said she called at Stuart s request and charged the Calls to his Telephone credit card. But when Stuart tried to turn their relationship into something More intimate after he was released from the Hospital in december Allen broke it off Dwyer said. It is not known How Stuart got the idea that he could successfully deflect attention from himself by saying the couple was attacked by a Black gunman. But there had been a series of drug related shootings last september and october in the City s Black neighbourhoods. Chuck and i had talked about the number of shootings that had gone on there said Peter Jaworski an employee at the fur store. Stuart s upbringing in Revere May also have played a part. Don t discount the Way people think Here said a customer at Reardon s bar. Racism is a fact Good or bad. We Divide people up into groups and you will notice no Blacks live in  but it was Stuart s coolness after the shooting that amazed even his own relatives. Patrick Reardon another Cousin said he was in the Hospital room with Stuart when the police first questioned him about the shooting two Days after it occurred. I was boasting to friends about How Good his recall was Reardon said. He went through the whole thing. They asked him several times and he repealed it every time. He did t seem to get annoyed. The Way chuckle had described the assailant led you to believe that it was real. He went As far As to describe a Stripe in the sleeve of the running suit and How the gunman reached into the inside of his Zipper jacket for he gun turned and faced  nor did Stuart apparently have trouble composing a message that was read by a Friend Brian Parsons at Carol s funeral. Good night Sweet wife my love. God has called you to his Side he wrote. Referring to her killer the message continued in our souls we must forgive this sinner because he would  within two weeks of being released from the Hospital Early last month Stuart was buying women s jewelry first a $999 pair of Diamond solitaire earrings later a $250 14-Karat Gold brooch. It struck me As funny because Why would he be  said John White who sold him the brooch. He did t express any grief at  the police have speculated that the jewelry was intended for Allen but she has denied receiving any items from Stuart. Stuart told his relatives he was going to return to his House in Reading. Socially if not emotionally he had moved from Revere. He had stopped playing in a thursday night basketball league there several months before his wife s death and before that had slopped having drinks with his teammates at the speakeasy pub after games friends say. It was As if Stuart was living out the poem by Robert Frost that graced his High school yearbook the Road not taken. Two roads diverged in a Wood and i i took the one less travelled by and that has made All the difference. On the last night of his life with the police looking for him. Stuart checked into the Sheraton Tara Motel in Braintree mass. He requested a 4 30 . Wake up Call. Then he drove into Boston stopped his car on the Bottom level of the Tobin Bridge and turned on the Hazard lights on the $22,000 Nissan Maxima he had bought two Days before. Leaving a note on the front seat that said he could not Bear the charges against him but did not make Clear his own role he got out and propped up the Hood. When the police found his car at a few minutes before 7, they were not sure until they found his submerged body that this was not another hoax. Inuary20,1990 stars and stripes Page 15
