Obituary for Richard E. "Dick" Stewart
Hartford
Richard “Dick” E. Stewart, 76, passed away on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2020, at Glens Falls Hospital.
Born on Oct. 4, 1943, in Cambridge, he was the son of the late Edward and Dorothy (Lundy) Stewart.
Dick graduated from Hartford Central School in 1962. He earned his welding certificate at Capital District Educational Opportunity Center EOC in Troy and went to work for welding at Sandy Hill. Dick’s pride and joy was working on the 3rd generation family farm, Twin-Brooks.
On June 10, 1967, Dick married the love of his life, Mary Lane at the Whitehall Methodist Church.
He was a lifelong member of the Hartford Methodist Church. Dick was a member of the Farm Bureau and the NYTPA.
In his younger years he enjoyed riding horses, went to gymkhanas, riding and racing snowmobiles and ice fishing. Dick enjoyed going to auctions and was an expert maple syrup maker. Every year Dick would attend the Washington County Fair where he would help clip the cows, watched his kids and grandkids show their cows and watch his son at the tractor pull. His favorite passion was deer hunting with the Mercure’s especially with his close friend, Ronnie. Dick loved watching his grandkids ball games and instructing them in the batting cage any chance he could. He enjoyed traveling whether it be chasing parts or his trips to Maine for seafood or to the Amish Country in Pennsylvania for Shady Maples; especially his two trips to Yellowstone and Custer’s Last Stand Park.
In addition to his parents, Dick was predeceased by his sister, Carol Tetmeyer; his son-in-law, Aaron VanNamee.
Left to cherish his memory include his wife of 52 years, Mary; his children, Edward Stewart and his wife, Krissy, Jaclyn Gebo and her husband, Michael; his grandchildren, Gavon, Drake, Reagan and Silver; his brother, Ken Stewart and his wife, Mary; his brother-in-law, Walter Tetmeyer; and several nieces, nephews and cousins.
