In Loving Memory of
Lawrence LeTulle Stewart
August 8, 1942 — June 21, 2010
A native of Houston, Texas, Stewart was born August 8, 1942. Larry Stewart
spent most of his life serving his country as a Navy aviator and his final years
serving his community.
The 67- year -old Stewart passed away on June 21 in Pretoria, South Africa.
A highly- educated man, Stewart attended Texas A &M University as a
freshman before leaving in 1961, when he was appointed to the U.S. Naval
Academy with the help of then Senator, Lyndon B. Johnson.
His 20 -year career as a Navy P -3 pilot (anti- submarine plane) included a tour
of Vietnam. Stewart served as a mission commander, aircraft navigator,
senior watch officer and instructor.
Stewart earned a degree in electrical engineering from the Naval Academy in
1965. He earned master's degrees in management from Rensselaer
Polytechnic Institute in 1973 and the United States Naval War College in
1975. He received another degree in management from SUNY Binghamton
in 1988 and completed numerous commercial training programs.
After retiring from the Navy in 1985, he worked in flight simulation with
several companies before accepting a position in 1993 as an engineering
manager and later as a systems engineer with Raytheon Data Systems.
Stewart moved to College Station after retiring from Raytheon in 2003 and
was elected to the city council in 2008. He was active in several local
organizations, including the intergovernmental committee, Research Valley
Partnership board of directors, city transportation committee, CSISD joint
committee, Wolf Pen Creek oversight committee and the comprehensive
plan advisory committee. Stewart served as president of the Emerald Forest
Homeowners Association prior to his election to city council.
An enthusiastic big -game hunter, Stewart also enjoyed writing science fiction.
He was considered by his peers as a man of integrity and honor who always
wore a smile. His intelligence and open mind made him a valuable and
distinguished member of the city council.
He was preceded in death by his wife, Janet Taylor.
He is survived by a daughter, Samantha of Seattle, WA; a sister, Olva Pharo
of Cypress; and his mother, Mary Kent Stewart of Houston.
