Robert Leslie Stewart,
Jr.
September 14, 1938 ~ May 25, 2007
MONTEREY,
California – Robert Leslie Stewart, Jr., age 68, went home to be
with our Lord on May 25, 2007. Memorial Services were held at
Calvary Chapel on Monday, May 28, 2007. Bob and wife Carolyn
have been active in various ministries since coming to the
Peninsula in 1996, welcoming friends and family to their home.
Born in Bisbee, Arizona on September 14, 1938, Bob spent much of
his life growing up in El Paso, Texas. Bob married Pat Long in
1958. The family eventually moved to the Bay Area, where they
settled in Pleasanton with children Rick, Terry and Susan. In
1981, Bob married Carolyn and took on a fatherly role with
Louann, Lori, and Lezlie. He is loved and respected by his
brother Rick and sister, Shirley, both living in the Washington
D.C. area. After working 28 years for the Lawrence and Berkeley
Laboratories, Bob retired as Plant Manager and eventually moved
to Monterey where he and Carolyn spent many happy and fulfilled
years. Both have played an important role in the development of
"The Most Excellent Way" and "The Bridge" ministries, formed to
help thru Jesus Christ, restore the lives of individuals and
families who have dealt with addiction. Bob found his "purpose"
in life thru assisting and encouraging others.
Bob leaves a legacy for many who knew him and the contribution
of his life will be a benefit to many who did not know him. A
loving husband and friend . . . his family and those whose lives
he touched are blessed to know where he has gone.
In lieu of any gifts or flowers that might be presented, the
family has asked that friends would consider The Bridge for
their symbol of appreciation. The Bridge (P.O. Box 2044,
Seaside, CA 93955) recovery program is an active non-profit
ministry focused on the restoration of men and their families
from addiction.To sign Robert's guest book please visit
