Remembering Bob Steward

The value that Bob Steward brought to the aviation - and specifically, Grumman - communities was vast and wide-reaching. The void left by his passing will likely never be filled.

Bob was a damn fine man, one of the finest I'll ever met. - Greg Amy

One of the finest men I've ever met. I feel the loss already. - Joe Campbell

Bob taught me the real difference between mechanic theory and real practice. I will miss being able to have discussions with him on some of the finer points.

I remember with great fondness the call I got right after an event in 2001 at Blue Ash, when Bob called and asked if I could go and retrieve Gwen's portable rocker. Bob and I tried 5 different times to both make flyins where I could return the chair. I started logging the flight and stops on the chair with a Sharpie. It was not until Cody in 2002 that I could return it with many frequent flyer miles. I have many such stories of Bob and the times he stayed after to help planes get home. My heart is just refusing to believe what my mind has accepted. To live a life like his would never be a wasted life. Blue Skies - Roscoe
