      Beloved husband and best friend of Diannia (Rickert) Schmitt whom he married on July 9, 1965. Dearly loved father of Lori Otterbein and her husband Mike and Benjamin Schmitt. Loving Papa to Trent and Eve Otterbein. Stewart will be forever remembered by his sister Margaret and husband Howard Ellis, brother-in-law Terry Rickert and wife Jean as well as by his nieces and nephews.

      Stewart was a lifetime member of Wilmot Centre Missionary Church, Baden. He was an active participant in the church as Worship Leader. He served as the business administrator, Pastoral Aid and Receptionist at the church for well over 20 years. Stewart was an avid reader and woodworker and especially loved a good game of hockey. You would have often found him at the local games cheering on the Kitchener Rangers. Stewart worked at Knechtels wholesale Grocers and Cressman Meats. Stewart was a trusted and true friend to many.
