Last Monday Second City co-owner Len Stuart died in hospice care surrounded by his family and friends, among them Second City CEO and executive producer Andrew Alexander. Stuart was 73.
Beyond their working relationship, Alexander and Stuart became close friends over the course of their four decades together. “I spent the whole ten days with him when he was in hospice,” Alexander says, “and the things that stuck out was his courage and the way that he made his family feel.” Alexander mentions that Stuart never appeared afraid and seemed at peace in his final days.
