Not sure what to say?

John will be pleased to know that the Stewart Lunch Club is meeting at Sam's today in his honor: Bill Witte, Mark Buell, Dean Macris, Paul Sedway and the undersigned. We still miss our esteemed friend and stalwart Leader. Ronald Pelosi, San Francisco

I would just like to say that I am very Sorry to hear of your loss to All of the Loved Ones of this Amazing and obviously Kind Hearted and Compassionate Soul. Sadly, I never did get to meet this Remarkable Man and only just now learned of his passing while trying to submit an application for low income Senior Housing at his Santana Row location which is how I came across the link to his Obituary. I am saddened to learn that this Remarkable Man has passed and my heart goes out to his Family...

After 10 years of not seeing or talking to John, the first thing he said on the phone was "it´s so good hearing your voice." I will never forget the hug when when met for lunch. John had a big heart and his door was always open. I remember John today and always. Thoughts of you and your kindness & Leadership will always be remembered. A year later........... Rest In Peace John.....

In memory of my friend, business partner, and moral compass.

John was a extraordinarily kind man. I had the pleasure of working for the John Stewart Company as a property manager in the earl 80’s when the company was located in Sausalito next Juan’s Mexican Restaurant. Fun Times!

The day John hired me to be his secretary was the start of a 40+ year
acquaintance with one of the finest men I have known. He was a genuinely
warm and wonderful individual—one I and so many others will greatly miss.

Not only did John contribute to society as a whole through his energetic commitment to developing and maintaining affordable housing,
but he was also a fair and thoughtful boss who took a personal interest
in all of his employees.

A great and open heart, a prince among men.

John was one of my fathers lifelong best friends. Unfortunately, my father, Bill Nichols had a stroke and can no longer use his computer.

From what I have been told, they met at Peninsula School as well. From there, they stuck together through Paly High and Stanford.

They have always remained in close contact, including the last two years when it became much more difficult to do so. John and Gussie made many trips down from the city to spend time with dad in skilled...

John was a great friend and mentor. I worked with him in The John Stewart Company for many years before returning to Minnesota to start my own development and property management business. Everything I did was modeled after John's business integrity and ethics. He was the best and I shall remember him and the gracious smile of his delightful wife Gussie forever.
