Rhett interned as an NBC page and loved sharing tales of the stars that came before his desk. In 1961, he came west and played a Zook brother across from his real brother, Arthur King, in a production of Plain and Fancy at the Pasadena Playhouse, before following the coast up to San Francisco. In the early 70's Rhett began to direct his love of rhythm and voice into poetry. He often said he loved nothing more than a blank page and he wrote on a daily basis. Musicality and joy of word play influenced his work, which he read at dozens of San Francisco venues, riffing on reminiscences and daily life. Years of training as a singer and at the National Academy of Broadcasting came through in the mesmerizing smoothness of his lovely, baritone voice. As an artist and person, Rhett was a mentor and an inspiration to many. He made connections throughout the art community of San Francisco. He attended writing workshops at Central City Hospitality House and the Tenderloin Reflection and Education Center, where he also sat on the Board of Directors., Rhett was a great believer in treating oneself with kindness, just as we would others we care about. Deeply spiritual and philosophical, Rhett helped establish the Tenderloin Self-Help center and was one of the original peer counselors who went to Esalen for training in reflective-listening. In 1989 his book Man OffBeat was published by Freedom Voices, and reprinted in 1990 and '94., This past decade, Rhett enjoyed creating colorful sketches while continuing to write and play music. He generously shared his work with family and friends., Rhett is survived by three cherished brothers and their families, William and wife, Pat, Gray and Peggy, and King, formerly married to Toni; nieces and nephews, Susan, Jane, Alice, Tricia, Megan, Danny, Reid, Robbie, Billy, Hal and other extended family., Rhett was preceded in death by his parents, longtime residents of Newport News, William C. Stuart Jr. and Susan Reid Williams Stuart. |

When he became the principal of the Willis Elementary School, he served as the city's first African-American principal of an integrated faculty and student body. While serving as the District Advisory Specialist for Integration for the School System, he co-authored the city's desegregation plan and helped to spearhead the integration of the Hampton Public Schools. He was Assistant Personnel Director/Human Relations Specialist, and retired from the Hampton City School System as the Assistant Superintendent for Personnel in 1983 after serving for 30 years., Lorenzo lived a life committed to family, community and to social justice, in particular to economic, gender and racial fairness. His integrity, generosity and humor were legend among those who knew him. Throughout his career, he was particularly concerned about the welfare and education of children. His friends knew that he was someone who could be called on in times of need, and his help and wise counsel were often solicited. He was devoted to his family, and he especially relished the time he got to spend with his grandchildren, Sean and Eva. He was enormously proud of them., Lorenzo loved music; he was fond of both listening to it and making it. As a young man, he sang in choirs. Later in life, and just before retiring for the evening, he often sang spirituals in his rich baritone while accompanying himself with his largely self-taught organ playing. As a numismatist, he had no equal, for collecting and finding an ancient coin gave him so much pleasure., He was a member of First Baptist Church-King Street, working tirelessly on the Constitution Committee and serving as a Deacon where he encouraged the inclusion of women on the Deacon Board. Lorenzo was a proud member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Delta Beta Lambda Chapter, a group of men he cherished as his Brothers. |
