When I heard that Chrissy was creating this tribute for her father I knew I must contribute even though I did not know Pastor Stewart well because you did not need to know him well. He made you feel loved even if you only knew him a little bit. I remember Pastor Stewart because he was so kind. I was very, very shy as a young woman but he never passed anyone by without a greeting- shy people really appreciate that! He and Debbie picked my husband and I up for a Bible Study they were leading in Northampton and we have always remembered that too. Other memories I have of Pastor Tom were his great tree climbing and forestry skills, his love of coffee and his love of Debbie and his family. He had such a desire to see salvation for those that did not know Jesus's love and forgiveness and I remember he was a loyal friend.

Pastor Tom always knew how to make the most mundane thing more fun. I remember the Sunday after a women's seminar he told the story of his time playing "Mister Mom" while Deb was away enjoying the retreat. He said he had given his kids cereal with ice cream on top for breakfast. His reasoning is that you put milk and sugar in cereal anyway and ice cream was more fun. What a great dad!!!

One thing that matters most is that P.Tom was genuine,he was a true believer in Christ and believe me you can't find many of them nowadays.Many missionaries passed from Greece in the 80s but i need to say that P.Tom and Randy B. were probably the most bananas for Jesus.
