Memories and Condolences
for Mark STEWART

Not sure what to say?

Shocked and saddened to hear of your loss. I just found out about it on Wednesday, nearly 11 months after he passed, when talking to a longtime friend I hadn't seen since 1992, when I worked at the Arizona Daily Star, hired by none other than Mark Stewart. The next day, ironically and coincidentally, I met Scott Stewart, Mark's brother, heading to the airport in Las Vegas (what were the odds of that?). Needless to say, I have a heavy heart right now for the Stewarts.

Mark, I love you and will miss you. I relished my visits to Tucson
in February with you and Phyliss. We shared the same "sick" sense of humor, and the joy of writing.
You were and still are my hero. Spot

Almost every memory I have of Mark involves humor. Mark had the rare ability to find humor in situations where others could not He was a great and fun brother.
