Obituaries:
Stuart A. Senneff Jr. (1967-1987), 90, of Ft. Myers, FL,
passed away on December 1, 2024. He was born in 1934 in Ft.
Myers.
Stu received a Bachelors in Psychology from the
University of Miami and a Masters in Human Resources
Management from Pepperdine University. He also graduated from
the Marion Military Institute with an Associates in Science.
Stu’s career in law enforcement and security
spanned more than six decades. After serving in the U.S. Army,
Stu joined the City of Miami Police Department as a motorcycle
officer in 1959. He entered duty with the FBI as a
Special Agent in 1967 and was assigned to the Oklahoma City
Division and the New York Office (NYO), where he worked in
organized crime, white collar crime, and undercover
operations. After serving at NYO, he was assigned to the
Criminal and Inspections Division at FBIHQ and the Training
Division at Quantico, VA, where he was promoted to Supervisory
Special Agent (SSA) and spent two years as a firearms and SWAT
instructor. In 1978, he and his wife, Louise, and their two
children transferred from Washington, DC, to Albuquerque, NM,
where he spent fourteen years as SSA before retiring from the
FBI.
Following his retirement from the FBI in 1987, Stu served
as the Chief of Police for Bernalillo County, NM, and as the
Under Sherriff for Sandoval County, NM. In 1995, he and Louise
relocated to Florida and Stu joined Pinkerton as a District
Manager. He later served as an instructor for the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security, traveling across the U.S. and
the world to help government agencies analyze vulnerabilities,
bolster security, and prevent terrorist attacks. He also
worked as Chief of Security for the Collier County (FL)
Department of Facilities Management. He was a Certified Fraud
Examiner and served as an expert witness and security
consultant through his business, Universal Consulting
Associates, which he operated for thirty years.
Stu found inspiration and purpose throughout his career,
but his true passion was his family. He was immensely proud of
his children, their spouses, and his six grandchildren. He
also dearly loved his wife of fifty-three years, Louise, and
he frequently acknowledged her for taking such wonderful care
of him after he had a debilitating stroke in 2017. He found
great joy in knowing that his beloved children and
grandchildren were happy, and he spent his life doing
everything in his power to ensure their success.
Stu was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, and
patriot. He was proud to be an American, and he was honored to
serve his country throughout his lifetime. Stu served on
the Board of Directors for many organizations, including the
Wounded Veteran’s Relief Fund. He was a thirty-seven-year
member of the Society, serving as the Florida RVP from 2008 to
2010 and as the Southwest Chapter’s Chair for a number of
years. He was also a passionate and devoted Army
football fan – an allegiance that he passed on to his
children and grandchildren!
Stu is survived by his wife, Louise; his son, Jack (Maura);
his daughter, Lisa (Chris); and his grandchildren: Madelyn,
Tyler, Lauren, JP, Ryan, and Catherine.
If you would like to honor the memory of Stu, the family
has requested that memorial contributions be made to the
Former Agents of the FBI Foundation.
