Robert E. Stewart Jr. ’75

Robert died July 9, 2022, at age 69. 

A graduate of Woodlawn High School in Birmingham, Ala., he entered Princeton with the Class of 1974. After taking a year off to study at the University of Alabama in Birmingham, he returned and joined our class and Cottage Club.

Robert retired after serving as a district manager for Toyoda Machinery USA. Unfortunately, he had not been in touch with the class for some time. His published obituary said, “Robert will be deeply missed by his beloved family and friends. All who met him knew him for his outgoing and engaging personality, wide smile, unending desire for learning, love of the outdoors, and devotion to loved ones.” 

Robert had lived for many years in Avondale Estates, Ga. He is survived by his wife, Carol; son Will and his wife Elizabeth; granddaughter Grace; mother Nell Stewart Wetzel; sister Anita Stewart and her husband Sam Austin; and other relatives and friends. We share in their loss of our classmate.
