Mr Albert Stewart a very very good friend of my Dad Mr Vincent Simms. My memories of Mr Stewart was a man that was military and full of energy and fun. When he used to visit our house on Brook Road way back in the 60’s and 70’s I can always remember the roar of laughter during the debates my Dad and Mr Stewart would have, it was great to hear my Dad and Mr Stewart laugh and boy could they both laugh. My earliest memory of Mr Stewart was seeing him clean is private reg white Ford Cortina Car with the Red go fast stripes down the side, Mr Stewart was the first person I saw with a cool car and began my love of cars, Gary will agree it takes me a long time to buy a car but when I do it a definitely get my dream car. Mr Stewart was like my Dad’s number one spar he would come to my Dad’s Shoe Shop and give lot’s of jokes and Mr Stewart was probably the only person that convinced my Dad to travel to Paris with The Bristol & Weston Parents and Friends Association where I enjoyed a week-End away with some of the family including Mr Stewart and Mrs Stewart, when he came back he was trying to speak french to all including Mr Stewart what a laugh that was. Mr Stewart was a active member of the Bristol Community and his name will always bring great honour respect and original Danship from all. Mr Stewart I am so glad that I took time out a few months ago to come and see you and Mrs Stewart having heard from my Mum Mrs Simms that you were not well. I spoke to you just like back in the day when you would visit the Simms ranch and The Simms Shoe shop, you sounded you looked and you were definitely glowing with the same Mr Albert Stewart charm. I thanked you for playing a major part of my upbringing and for being a good friend to my Dad and the family.
I remember Mrs Stewart,Jennifer, Barry, Gary,Kevin, Jackie and Clive who was always a big man to me.
I would personally like to give my condolences to you all and I truly believe Mr Stewart is gone to a better place and I know my Dad Mr Simms will be welcoming his true spar to the better place I can just hear my Dad now day Buttie you diayah, come Bredren come let me show what’s gwanning up here.
Mr Stewart always rememberd never forgotten thank you for being part of my life from birth till now. God Bless you Mr Albert Stewart.
Grandad.....I can’t believe you are no longer with us. When it hits me that I will never see or hear you again there is a deep sadness that fills me. I will miss your smile, our talks and your charisma. You taught me many things Grandad and I will value and cherish all those lessons forever. We lost the patriarch of our family on Friday 22nd February but our memories and your wisdom will live on.
Although I miss you dearly, it broke my heart to see you in all that pain. I know you are in a better place and now free from all pain. Rest in peace Grandad. Thank you for all that you taught me. Love Brina. (Charlene’s sister) xx
Dear friend
I knew your health condition. But it is was shocking knowing that you gone.l miss you.
You are unique, how supportive in a time when this world gave me their back you was there .You make a member of your family in all aspects of live.
I miss you. No more pain
One day we will see each other again.
Dear grandad
You were one of the best grandad anyone could ask for, one memory that will always stick with me was when you took me swimming every weekend and if I completed my task you would buy me chocolate, we would take walks together, you would take me to the cricket ground which was one of your favourite places to be we had a bond that I am going to miss so much. It won’t feel the same not being able to see your face light up when we walk through the front door or hear your voice, I’m happy you got to meet kaiya when you did and that she remembers who you are, we all love and miss you so much grandad you were taken away from us too soon, every day I wonder to myself what you’re doing up there and if you’re watching us from above.
Until we meet again ❤️.
Dear dad;
The last time we spoke you told me you were going to fight through this pain I didn’t think it would be the last time I heard your voice. My heart is aching for you and my sister, it was an honour to call you dad as I loss my own dad. You had such a beautiful smile and I’m going to miss walking into your home and hearing you say “hi dear”. I will truly miss you, and as selfish as it sounds I wish you were still here but you are free from all the pain that you were going through, I will love you always.
Albert, sorry you are gone. It is sad!! I miss you very much. We have come a long way but you have suffered so much. I wached you cry, as the pain became unbearable and I cried with you. I felt the pain. I prayed every day and night and asked God to relieve you of the pain. I watched the last breath go and you looked so much at rest. Thanks for the lovely family we made together Bert. We all miss you but we know you are at a better place. May your soul rest in peace.
Hazel your loving wife and best friend.
I can’t think about you without my eyes filling with tears, all the photos were coming across in the past weeks bring a smile and endless tears. I can’t put into words the way my heart aches since that day, but thankful we were all there with you and that your suffering is finally at an end. You will forever be my heart and I will never ever forget everything you taught us, the laughs we had and the walks around the park. Most importantly the little things, your smile, the way you used at me when I wasted my dinner. Knowing you are out of pain now makes it a little easier. I love you grandad and miss you endlessly. Rest in peace ❤️X
Mr stewart a very nice and warm man with a brilliant smile and personality to match. I will miss our little cats when we meet at Rose Green. I have a picture of me and you and I will treasure it. Rest in peace and my condolences to the family.
Its been a hard and long road that we have traveled together, there has been a few bumps along the way, but we were able to smooth them out along the way. You have taught us right from wrong and the fundamentals of life. You shared with us a great deal of knowledge and understanding, which gave us wisdom, to deal with the pressure of life. Unfortunately Dad you have reach the end of the road. I am sure you had a good journey all the way. I love and appreciate all that you have done for us. We will certainly miss you. Love and respect Dad, farewell until we meet again.
I know time maybe at a stand still for you all at this of mourning, a loss of a love one is never easy, so to all the family my deepest sympathy and may the Lord be a comforter for you all. I can honestly say, conversations with Mr Stewart were never boring. Rest in peace Mr Stewart
'It takes a village to raise a child'...My heart is truly in pieces as when my Daddy passed 37 years ago...He left the foundations of a village to help raise me.....Your charismatic charm, humour and core family values are a twin flame to my father's and a testament for generations to come. When ever I was around you, I always felt so much joy, happiness, warmth and love ...there are not many people that can smile with their eyes and make you belly laugh I am so proud to have grown up with the love and care from you...our families are twin flames.....Daddy Stewart, Mr Stewart, Stew, Bert... 'this likkle girl' will miss you soooo much, but I know you are finally resting in eternal peace. Our Village will continue to grow with your legacy of what it is to be a 'Man'....a husband,father,granddad.
I miss you so much grandad. I will always remember you saying, "If I don't get anymore, I'il call dis my dinna". I wish you were still here today, though I know you are resting in peace. Love you so much.
Dad, I know that I'm your eldest child and I am supposed to be strong for the younger ones, but it's tough! Although we knew the end was coming I certainly wasn't prepared for it when it happened. I wake up each morning thinking of you and go to sleep each night with you in my thoughts. There are so many things that you have taught me over the years that I would not be the man that I am today if not for you. I think of you each day, which in turn fills my eyes with tears. I am going to miss calling home and not hearing your voice on the phone, plus I will miss those "man to man" chats we used to have on my trips home. Although I miss you terribly I am most thankful that you are no longer suffering!
Love you dearly Dad!
