Louise and Stewart's family,
I knew Stewart only through Louise's fabulous stories. She was deeply committed to him. Louise always had Stewart's best interests in mind and took good care of him the last few years as his health declined. For Louise and his family, he leaves many happy memories to cherish, and that's what a well-lived life leaves his loved ones.
