Congratulations, Robert, on your retirement! We always knew you were a special guy, but reading these commendations – WOW! You’ve been a special vessel the Lord has used through the years. We are very proud of you, not because of the things others have said, but because you have always been a person of integrity.
You are in our thoughts and prayers as you fight your biggest battle to date!
Much love, Uncle Rabon and Aunt Jewelle
OKC, OK

Mr. Stewart,

Well, let me start off by telling you that you have touched many lives in their time of need and me & my 3 boys Trent, Brannon & Chasen Freeman are so grateful that you came to our rescue back in 1997. We were trapped in my car upside down in a ditch and Chasen who is now 11 years old was only 6 months old at the time had fallen out of his car seat. You & miss Diane got us out of the vehicle and I want you to know that you will always be my hero..I wish you well….

Robert,
I enjoyed the few yewars I got to serve under your leadership. I am grateful for all the years you served your community, but I found you were mostly just doing what friends do and that is help each other in time of need. Thanks for your impact in my life. God Bless you.

Congratulations Daddy, we are so proud of you and we love you. You hung in there for a really long time when most would have given up Your courage and determination have brought you far and will get you through the tough times ahead. You have the love and support of your family and friends behind you and even though this retirement was not necessarily planned, it will be met with respect and admiration. You have touched many lives and you may never even realize the impact you have made on the community and its residents. God puts us in places that he needs us sometimes and he works through us if we let him. I’m glad he put you in our lives. Thanks for always being there!
Love, Kelly and the Boys

For the thousands of hours that you spent away from your family. For the money that you spent to keep others safe. For the untold horrors that I’m sure that you’ve seen and are dealing with in your own way I salute you Chief Stewart ,and wish you well.
