Obituary of Stuart A. Confield

Stuart Confield, 63, of Greenwich Township, NJ, died December 1, 2008 in his home. He was born to the late Harry and Hilda Confield, August 5, 1945, in Newark, NJ. Stuart graduated from Weequahic High School in 1963 and received a B.A. in English and a B.S. in Accounting from Rutgers University. He married Helen Azima in 1971 in a backyard garden.Stuart constantly sought inspiration, from Classics in the classroom to verse in the Village, and, in turn, he sought to inspire those around him. He began his career as a high school English teacher, but soon followed in his father's footsteps and became an accountant, eventually becoming a partner at Demetrius & Company, L.L.C., in Wayne, NJ. Perhaps a less than obvious career move for a bohemian poet, Stuart loved his work and found inspiration in it each day. When he wasn't at work, he was inspired to better his golf game, which he was devoted to and loved as much as his family and career. Stuart was an Army veteran, a member of the ACLU, Amnesty International and the Association of Government Accountants. Stuart is survived by his beloved wife of 37 years, his son, Evan, and his sisters, Natalie and Vivian.
