Stewart was a very smart, talented Man. He was my nephew by marriage. He and Diane and Girls have been a very active part of my family for many years! We have celebrated many holidays together. Always fun to be with Stewie. I have lovely paintings to remember him by. He is with God now and out of his pain and suffering.and He will be missed!
Love to you all, Aunt Nancy
