James Floyd Stewart
James F. (Jim) Stewart passed away peacefully on Saturday August 18, 2012, at the age of 82. Jim was born August 31, 1929 to Daisy Belle ( Holliman) Stewart and James Wakeman Stewart in West Frankfort, Illinois. Jim is resting peacefully with his Mom and Dad, Sister Margaret, his brothers Chuck and Andy. Jim moved to Powell in 1944 with his Dad at the age of 15 where he attended Powell High School.
Jim met the love of his life Joyce Marie Frey in Bozeman, Montana. They were married on August 28, 1949. They would have celebrated their 63 wedding Anniversary this year. Out of this union four children were born.
Jim drove oilfield transport trucks for L.L. Smith for many years before he started his own Welding, Hotshot, and Trucking business in 1971. Together Jim and Joyce grew this business out of their home on the Willwood. They operated the business for 15 years before they sold and Jim retired, to pursue other interests. He built furniture out of old barn wood along with frames, shadow boxes, and wishing wells. He always had a project he was working on. They both traveled with friends and family, but they never missed the Eagles picnic. He was a long time member of the Powell Eagles Lodge.
Joyce was his first love but a close second was his love of fishing and hunting. Even though we are saddened by his passing the fish in Sunshine Reservoir are breathing a little easier. Every weekend you could find him and friends out on Buffalo Bill fishing and telling stories.
Jim is survived by his wife, Daughters, Charolette (Mike) Stewart-McCue of Cody, Sheila (Barry) Wilson of Covington, Washington, Sharon Ball of Cody, and James (Jimmy) Stewart Jr. His 9 Grandchildren, Brandon and Ryan Selk, John McCue, Travis and Chad Ball, Nikole Clark, Heather Johnson, Shawn Wilson and Steuart Telford. He was blessed with 12 great grandchildren and several Nieces and Nephews.
Memorial services will be held Friday August 24, 2012 at Thompson Funeral Home. Internment to follow at CrownHillCemetery. In lieu of flowers please give to the charity of your choice.
