Hi my name is Justin. Stewart was my general manager at Denny’s in Myrtle Beach SC. He cared for us very much. He treated us with dignity and respect. He would give you all the hours you wanted and the days off too. It as a pleasure and especially an honor to have known him. He was a great man and person. You will be missed.
Margie, Mrs Ritter, Mary Ann, and Janet

My heart aches and know you all are in our prayers

Steve and Mary Stupar and family
I first met Stewart during our Franchise training class in Canada. From the moment we met I felt as if I’ve known him for ever. We helped each other through the class and stayed in touch over the years and spoke often. I looked forward every year to seeing Stewart and Majorie at Brand Conference where we would share stories. I’ve learned so much from Stewart and I can say he has contributed to the success of my business. We would joke around nonstop and my nick name for him was Big Stu. My heart is heavy at the lost of my friend and I send all my prayers and well wishes to Marjorie and the rest of his family……You will be missed Big Stu. Always and forever Kevin Akins
