Robert “Bob” Franklin Stewart, 84, of Oakland MD, passed away on March 23, 2023, at his home surrounded by family. He struggled for many years with Parkinson’s disease and other health issues.

Bob served in the US Army and was also a machine operator and truck drive for Sylvan Manufacturing, previously owned and operated by the late John Doppel.
