and Renae Bradley, all of Grand Rapids, his grandchildren,
Jayme L and Thomas Holt, and Nicole M. Bradley; great
grandchildren, Samantha, Ethan and Nicholas Holt, who was
born on Monday, December 15, 2003. "The Lord giveth
and the Lord taketh away; Blessed be the name of the Lord."
Stew is also survived
by his brother Butch and Karen Silva of Oxford, FL. In
laws, Alma Flora, Shirley and Donald Buzalski of Pierson and
Judy and John Benson of Grand Rapids; nieces and nephews.
Preceding him in death was his daughter, Bonnie Sue in 1951.
