I pondered signing this Guest Book when I first read George's obituary, but having never met the man and because there were no entries yet, I decided not to. I worried the family would think it odd. But coming back, I see others who did not know this man took the chance I was afraid to take. George (kind of partial to his name, that was my Father's name) sounds like the kind of person everyone should aspire to be. It sounds as if George was a very hard worker, humble and loved his family deeply. I hope that knowing this small description of his life moved many who did not know him, to acknowledge such a wonderful man and pass their condolences on to his family, brings them some comfort during this difficult time. Cherish the memories you have and try to live life as this sweet man lived his.

It was indeed an honor knowing George Stewart. He was always ready to help when I became the BLA for West Virginia in 1988. He had quite a "journey" during his 89 years on this earth. God Bless him and all his Family and Friends, Bill Daniel, Retired

Uncle George was a great man - quiet and stately but always gave you his undivided attention. I so enjoyed his and Aunt Sharlene's visits back here to Iowa. There was so much more to him that I never knew..that's how he lived; he didn't believe nor want to be the center of attention. He loved his family and I am sure he was motivated by his own childhood to give so much more to his own children. Thank you Uncle George for being such a great man! Please give Aunt Sharlene a big hug!

While I did not know the Commander, I do want to express my sympathy to his family. He was a self made man that went through many hardships, and through his strong will and dedication achieved a very memorable and honorable life. He was one of Americas heroes. As a retired Chief Petty Officer, I wish the Commander fair winds and following seas...God bless him and his family.

A great mentor and friend to those involved in boating safety everywhere - George was sometimes a man of few words, but you always knew what he thought. It was an honor to have stood in his shadow and he will be missed. Debbie joins me in hopes that fond memories will soon begin to fill the void in our hearts by the passing of one of boating safety's giants.

Uncle George was an amazing man with a phenomenal life story. He had a way of making everyone he spoke with feel important and valuable. As a child I remember being in awe of him but he always made us feel like we were the most significant person in the room. I can see why he was such a successful leader.

As a past board member and past president of NASBLA, I worked with George for a number of years. He was truly a gentleman and a statesman...and a great teacher and mentor. I always appreciated what he called his "nickle's worth" of advice. He leaves a long and meaningful legacy to all who knew him. God bless you, George Stewart.
