Stu Smailes was a retired computer analyst who died in 2002 at the age of 69 with no immediate family, the Seattle Times said Tuesday. Advertisement His lawyer, Tim Bradbury, said Smailes had supported arts groups in the past, but none of his previous gifts were on this scale. The will was quite specific about the bequest, to be used exclusively "for the purpose of designing, constructing and maintaining a fountain or fountains located within the city of Seattle. The fountain(s) shall include one or more unclothed, life-size male figure(s) designed in the classical style, i.e.: realistic." The city is now in negotiations with the Seattle Art Museum to transfer the gift to them for their new Sculpture Park. In the meantime, Bradbury wouldn't elaborate on his client's stipulation. "He was a very funny man (with) a very strong sense of humor," he said.
