Hello Robert, you have always made me proud of you. Hang in there with your treatments. I’m sure the Fire Department will miss you being their Chief. Hope you have had a Happy Birthday.

Love you, Aunt Polly

I served under a good chief and a fine friend for 12 years, I can say that Robert loved and served his community with all his heart , above and beyond any call of duty. He has all the respect in the world from me and my family. Robert will always be cheify as long as I live, that what I always called him from the first call that I was honored to run with him and all the WHVFD. Robert I will miss you responding to dispatch with 1501 in service, inroute and negatory.
Robert is strong and will come through this bump with a silly grin wearing those dang old red suspenders.

Our love and Prayers are with you

The Hare Family

I have been involved with the fire department since I can remember. My dad has been a member of WHVFD since he was 18 and I know the Stewart family really well. I served as a volunteer under “Chief” until I moved out-of-state. He is an excellent person and Walnut Hill was a better place because of him. I hope he reads this and knows that even though my family and I now live in Tampa, we wish him luck and he is in our prayers. Miss you Chief, stay strong and know that WHVFD will always be there for you– you had a GREAT second in command and he will take over the reins very nicely.

I was with Atmore Ambulance and have been a volunteer firefighter since 1995 and worked many scenes with the WVFD. I can say that their fire department is the best of any around because of chief Stewart. He is a hero! Anyone who will volunteer their time like he has is a hero.
Our prayer are with Chief Stewart
