Richard Stewart

Cindy, I am so very sorry. I remember how much you loved Richard. I know you will miss him terribly. We will talk soon, OK?

Richard was a singular talent and exceptional human being. Like Mary Moody, I was his boss for a while _ although boss probably isn't the right word to convey our relationship. It was a privilege to work with him and know him. He had a big heart and always raised my spirits no matter what. I've kept some of his emails over the years for pure enjoyment. My condolences to Cody and all his family.

God is with you during this time of loss.

Richard was among the great ones. He leaves a void in the extended Hearst family, as well as among friends and readers.

I knew Richard such a short time, but it didn't take long to realize what a kind man he was, and that he will be greatly missed by his family and friends.

Please accept my deepest sympathy on your loss. Richard was a wonderful human being and he will be sorely missed.

Richard has been our dear friend for 41 years.
We met on one of the first Big Thicket Days in Saratoga, TX in 1970.
Richard was there to report on the event; we were there to support Big Thicket.
We became fast friends and have been friends ever since.
We hold his memory with deep affection and respect.
What a storyteller; what a wit he had.
He loved anecdotes about history, especially.
He delighted in old-time movies, especially comedies, and old time radio programs.
His departure has left a big hole in our hearts.
His loyal friendship was a treasure.

Richard will be sorely missed by all of us who knew him.

Deepest sympathy for the loss of a good, kind man. Journalists like Richard are few and he was one of the finest. It was always a pleasure to talk with him. His good humor and keen wit will be missed.

I met Richard when we were freshman at UH in 1967. He became a brother to me that my parents did not have. Over time the Stewarts and Skillmans became one family. Dick and Margaret became our "Texas parents". I was the best man at his wedding and a pall bearer at Judy's funeral. Now Richard had moved on. His legacy will live through memories and Cindy, Cody, Sarah and the Stew Crew.
