Stu
By: Pam Gunn
I never met a guy I knew,
That quite reminded me of Stu.
Always good for a joke or two…
And he would laugh as hard as you.
Kelly's in Westport was the place,
That I first saw Stu Gentry's face.
We were friends from that moment on
With Stu, you just could get along.
The Spring drove him to Hickory Hollow.
If you loved crappie, you would follow,
To learn the secret how he caught
His limit with the "Gentry knot."
Which brings us where he spent most days.
At a bar named after a finishin' phrase.
A place where everybody knew...
Everybody else including Stu.
The Daily Limit had a way
Of helping you forget your day.
Above the noise, that famous laugh
Brings us all here on his behalf.
No, I never met a guy I knew…
That quite reminded me of Stu.

The above picture is a photo taken in 1965 celebrating Budweiser's Kansas City Branch delivering its millionth case. Pictured left to right: Michael Roarty (Division Manager), Brookes Burkhard (Branch Manager), Anthony Conforti (Driver/Salesman), Mr. Randal Kelly and Mr. Arthur Brock (Proprietors).
The above photograph is a photoshopped version (note the person holding the case is different) done by a Kelly's regular and former employee , Mike Donegan. What was it that Kelly was found not guilty of? Absolutely nothing. The newspaper clip is from when rapper R. Kelly was found not guilty. We won't get into details about that one.
