I can no longer see a parrakeet nor a parrot without thinking of Stewart.
Every time one of my relatives turns diabetic, I think of Stewart.
It has been so long since he's been gone but I think fondly on the years that I got to work with him. Thank you to his family.

Stewart was a favorite colleague of mine where I served him by doing illustrations he needed to publish his research findings. He was immensely personable and thoughtful, respectful and respected, and presented a very good alternative to Dr. Gdfriend when it came to promoting Veterans Health research. Miss him dearly; I admired his constant ability to look beyond himself and work for the better good of people and parrots.

I just learned of Dr. Metz' passing. He was an incredible researcher in VA Hospital in Madison, WI who I had the great pleasure to do drawings to illustrate his research manuscripts and create slides for his medical lectures. An incredible thinker and compassionate individual.

So sorry to read about the passing of Stewart. In 2006 he placed a plaque for us in memory of our beloved Umbrella Cockatoo, Morag on an enclosure.
Sadly, I never met him but he was obviously a wonderful and caring human being. Mark

Stew has been a wonderful friend ever since we used to hang out together in medical school and act crazy as loons. We've kept in regular contact ever since. I wish I could have seen him more often. I'll miss him very much.

Thank you for all your hard work both in medicine and with birds. You helped provide a great trip for me to INDONESIA in 2006 and will always have those memories. You were like a little kid in a toy store when you were with the birds in Indonesia. Now you know bird secrets of the world. Well done good and faithful servant
