Harry E. Stewart, Sr.

Mr. Harry E. Stewart, Sr. departed this life peacefully on Sunday, April 15, 2018 answering the summons of the Lord to enter into eternal rest.

Born July 16, 1926 in Dunkard, Pennsylvania, he was the son of the late Goldie Ethel Stewart-Reed and Harry Nester Reed.

Harry was a member of the First Baptist Church of Dunkard for 66 years.  A U.S. Army Veteran, he served during the European African Middle Eastern Campaign of World War II. He was a polisher and grinder at the Timken Roller Bearing Company at Canton, retiring after 37 years of dedication to the industry.

Harry was a family man with a gentle soul; touching many lives by his generous giving of friendship, love, and time.  He never knew a stranger and always helped anyone in need.  Loving life, family, farming and tinkering in the garage with his vehicles were only a small portion of his passions.  Best known for being an amazing husband, father, pap and great-grandpap; devoting his life to each one of us.  His love for our family is immeasurable, blessing us with many precious memories.  His smile could light up the room and the love in his eyes expressed the depth of love when he couldn't speak.  His faith, adventurous ways and sense of humor are the foundation of his legacy.  Harry will be greatly missed.  The loss we feel no one can prepare for; he has meant so much to so many of us and we thank God for him.

Harry is survived by his wife Anne with whom he recently celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary.  Also surviving are three children Mrs. Celia (Perry) Watkins of Minerva, OH, Harry (Bess) Stewart, Jr. of Navarre, OH, and  Mrs. Donalyn (Joseph) McCaulley of Dellroy, OH, two sisters LouVernia Robinson and Pearlene Phillips, both of Morgantown, WV, one brother Glenn Reed of Fairview, WV, six grandchildren Gene Showalter of Navarre, Terry (Anna) Showalter of Alabama,  Mrs. Raechel (Shane) Sickafoose of Canton, OH, Joshua Stewart of Kentucky, Mrs. Chalynne (Dillon) Moore of Carrollton, OH, and Treg McCaulley of Dellroy, 13 great-grandchildren Katelyne, Karri, Catherine, Jacob, Shawn, Jessica, Terry, Jr., Blake, Michaela, Wiatt, Camryn, Hadley, and Addison, and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family members.   

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by an infant daughter, mother-in-law, father-in-law, sisters Carlene and Inez and brothers Carl and Jim.

Funeral services will be conducted 12:00 Noon,  Monday, April 23, 2018 in the Christ Community Church at Dellroy with Rev.
