    I was shocked when I saw your post. Your DAD was one of my favorite posters here. I am glad that if he had to take leave on us that he was able to just slip away.

    I am sure that you picked up much more from your dad than you realize. Start hanging out here and you will find that you can help many here.

    Condolences to your family son of AZ-Stew.

    AZ Stew will be missed for a long time.

    ............Darn, this IS so unexpected and troubling to me. I really enjoyed meeting him and to spend time with him at last year's NCBS. He was always busy with his camera and got a big kick out of taking photo's of the goings on, and was a definate positive addition to the event.

    For me the annual NCBS has become more like a family reunion then anything else. When he'd mentioned here that he didn't feel he'd be able financialy to see his way clear to attend this year's shindig, I sent him a PM giving him some friendly 'carp' This caused a few days worth of PM's back and forth bagging on each other. I really believe that to me he was a good friend too late met, and too soon gone.

    My sincere condolences to you and those others also left behind as I know his passing has left a large hole in your lives.

    Kindest regards,

    Sad news indeed.

    Your father was a highly respected member here and his substantial contribution was knowledgable and generous.

    My thoughts are with you and all your family and friends at this time.

    What a shock. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. I considered Stew a friend, we traded many a PM back and forth. He will be sorely missed.

    Rest easy friend.

    Jim,
    I am another of those who met your father at NCBS last year. I enjoyed his company, and was looking forward to seeing him again this year. I was very disappointed when he posted that he probably would not be able to make it, so when I read of his passing, my heart just dropped.
    I am so very sorry for your family's loss. Please accept our prayers for healing and comfort.

    I chatted with him a few times in Chat. I thought that he was truly a class act. While I did not know him well (really, at all), I will miss his humor and wisdom. My best to you and your family in this time.

    My condolences and prayers to you and your family. I too had read a lot of Stew's posts, and he will be sorely missed. He was also a veteran and patriot and that is to be admired. Please let your family know how much he will be missed here on this forum.

    Stew was a member i truly enjoyed reading. His post were insightful and full of knowledge. His departure from this Earth is truly a loss. He will be missed and remembered as a man of honor and dignity. I never met Stew in person but from reading his posts i feel like he would have the kind of man I would enjoy just sitting and talking with. May the Lord welcome Stew into his loving Grace and comfort those whom he left behind, with the knowledge that they will see Stew again one day.
