JoAnn and the entire Stewart family it is with my sincere condolences upon hearing the sad news that Don has passed. I only met him a few times but each time was memorable for his warmth and joy that emanated from him with each encounter. The world will truly miss such a wonderful soul taken from its midst. All our sympathies and thoughts are with your family today.

I am so sad to hear of Donnie "Stew´s" passing. He was a real man´s man. He was kind, compassionate and a real friend. I had the honor of knowing him through my time at Wright-Pat working with his dear wife. We were fellow Masonic brothers and I will miss his smile and impeccable fashion sense. Fly high my friend. Until we meet again.
