In our last year at Grady, Stewart, Jimmy Emory, and I were in the same Naval Reserve Unit. We then served together for 2 years aboard the same ship. Stewart was a good sailor and friend who remained a patriot all of his life. He knew then that God truly blessed him with a loving family. I cherish those days of friendship and will always remember him as loyal, honest, and constantly smiling!
