I miss you Dad, every minute of every day. You have a great grandson now and now I completely understand the love you had for Kelsi and Kinzey. They are beautiful young ladies and you would be so proud of them. I thank God for giving me the best dad ever, for giving me so many years with you. I'm no longer sad,just grateful that I am your daughter.

Vicky & Family,
My love and prayers are with the Stewart family. In July 1986, Richard gave me the opportunity to work for the Wix Filter Company in Dillon, SC. It was a great experience that has provided a lifetime of friendships. I am sure that I am just one of multitude of people that Richard helped them along life's journey! God Speed Richard Stewart.
