Stewart Wayne Grey (Stew) of Lakeville ,PA formerly of Madison, NJ  passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 1, 2020 at Morristown Medical Center. He was 83.

Stewart was born in West Orange on November 25, 1936 to the late Frank and Eleanor Grey.

He was the owner of Maplewood Dodge in Maplewood for many years.  After his retirement, he and his Betty permanently relocated to their house on Lake Wallenpaupack in Pennsylvania.   

A lover of the outdoors, Stewart enjoyed traveling, fishing, boating, animals, golf, and riding his snowmobile in the wintertime. Stewart was a gun historian who could tell you the history of every piece in his former collection. He and Betty had many friends and could often be seen sitting on the beach in Sandy Shores.  He also enjoyed reading and sudoku puzzles, and volunteered at the Hawley Public Library in his spare time. He was a member of the Lions Club and coordinated their eyeglass program.
