Not sure what to say?

I have a special place in my heart for Judge Stewart. He was the definition of kindness, wisdom, and knowledge. He will be missed in our community. Here's to you, Judge, the universe is yours to explore.

I had known Bob since the mid 70's, and from that time till his passing his gentle courage was rock steady. I know this because of his numerous conversations and interventions that he had with so many unfortunate others.

So sorry to hear & my sympathy to your family. He was a great frat brother and visionary in our lives.

With deepest sympathy to family and friends. Growing up in the neighborhood together, I have great memories of the fun we had. He will be missed.

Machelle, Rachel, Riley and extended family, my heart goes out to you all during these difficult times. Bob was the most caring, compassionate, loving, honest, and brilliant man I have ever met. Your family exudes in the love he had for family and all
mankind. I will always remember how supportive he was with our family over the past 51 years when my father was MIA in Vietnam in 1969; he was always so kind and supportive every year in remembering. Athens County has lost a great soul,...

To Machelle, Riley and Rachel, our deepest condolences. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. Bob was such an amazing, loving man and has made all he those he touched, better people. As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Bob, was a very kind man! A great lawyer and Judge, as Athens will surely miss him. Rest In Peace , Bob!
