98 years old! Wow! I love that Bill wanted the letter from the president. That sounds like Bill! He had a good sense of humor which certainly contributed to Bill and Dad´s close friendship. That and both being physicists! [from Jerry Stewart´s son Tim Stewart, submitted by his oldest sister Merrilee]

There is no one I respected more than Uncle Bill. He was the most intelligent person I have ever known, in addition to being humble and soft spoken.
It was always an exciting time when he and Aunt Nita came to PA to visit. My kids remember him fondly and talk about how much they enjoyed visiting with them.
He will always be remembered with a smile.

Sending love to Bill´s wife Nita and daughter Lynn and son George and all members of their extended family from Gerald and Audrey Stewart´s kids and their extended family.
A Christmas Eve tradition growing up in Corona, Bill and Nita and Audrey and Jerry (who lived right across the alley in a newly built neighborhood in the `50s) would get together after putting gifts under their respective Christmas trees before turning in for a few hours sleep before the opening of gifts on Christmas Day.
Years later Bill and Nita agreed to take a puppy from the litter of Aero and John, two Afghan hounds belonging to Merrilee (Jerry and Audrey´s oldest) and her husband Marty that they delivered while on a road trip to SoCal from Oregon when Marty was in his first year of graduate school at University of Oregon in 1971-1972.
