Gary Stewart

Valentines Day 2024
Our beloved Gary Stewart passed away in his sleep last night. I am sure he was dreaming of his beautiful wife Evie and just couldn’t wait another day without her. He was a leader of our Ballard High School Class of 1966 and he loved each of us as we loved him. All of our reunion plannings were at his home and very often he would invite all of us over for a party just to gather once again. He will truly be missed by family, friends and the entire class of 66’
