Burt and June were fortunate to have spent time traveling together to such places as Russia, Germany, England, Scandinavia, and other parts of Europe along with Mexico and the Caribbean.



Formally residing in Riverton, Burt and June retired to Genola, Utah in 2005 where Burt could do the things he was best known for. Enjoying the game of golf and maintaining the landscape of their large yard. He had an avid green thumb, which carried on the Stewart family tradition. He grew various varieties of plants, vegetables, shrubs and trees.



Burt's real passion was washing and waxing the many custom cars he had built and was recognized for. Burt was a charter member of JESTERS CAR CLUB which was founded in 1953.
