Centenarian |
William Alfred Stewart (3 February 1910 – 28 January 2020) was an Australian centenarian who was the second-oldest living man in Australia behind Dexter Kruger at the time of his death. He is currently the sixth-oldest man ever from Australia and the oldest man to die before reaching supercentenarian status (exculding the disputed case of Thomas Robinson).
