Wow! Lived to the grand old age of 97. And he passed away at one of the most beautiful places on the planet, Pebble Beach. RIP Moose. :geauxtige
Moose was the longtime principal @ Istrouma High. He used to sit on the tailgate of his pick-up in the late 70's/early 80's outside of Istrouma's football stadium with a big German shepherd on a leash. RIP, Moose.
Several weeks ago Moose got my vote for best all-time :lsup: center on this board. His granddaughter is a waitress at Gilbert's Seafood Grill on the Monterey wharf. Met her several years ago and had a great conversation with her about her grandpappy. Told me that even at 90+ years he was still as tough as nails. Said he liked talkin' 'bout his glory days at Ole War Skule, and that he was still a great Tiger fan. She noticed my LSU! polo shirt and we started talkin'. I recall she was quite an attractive young thing. RIP Moose.
They printed Stewart's obit in the paper yesterday and I learned something new. He was drafted by the NFL , but decided to join the Marine Corps instead and made a 23-year career of it, retiring as a Lt. Colonel. Then he worked another 25-year career as a high school football coach and principal.
