Remembering dear Stephen with love. A couple days ago , a memory came up on mt FB. It was Stephen offering me comfort and kind words for something I was going through at the time. He asked if there was anything he could do for me. It just made me feel the love from him and for him even more to read that. God bless you Stephen.

Thinking of Stephen I remember with fondness his cheerful outlook. On FaceBook he always had nice posts. It made me feel good to see them and keep in touch. He offered help if I sounded down or not well . he may not have been able to do anything for me but he offered with a sincere heart I am sure. Stephen is loved still and missed by all his friends. Be with God Stephen .

Stephen,
You were bigger than life. Your conversations captivated us and humor kept us in stiches. Your talents were many: from DJ, bar/restaurant manager, chef, to the quintessential salesman. You left us way too soon!

Everyone has one of those uncles. For me that Stephen. From sitting me on the mantle when I was young, to scaring me to death with his old man mask you sure kept me on my toes. As I got older and had my own kids you were always interested in what they were doing even though we did not see you much. Thanks for all the fond memories. You will be missed.

Well here goes Steve! I'm already missing you and trying to dwell on all the good memories! From teaching you how to ride a tricycle to being chauffeured in a limo around DC, you were always there for our family. I also remember all your help in making me feel better when we loss Mom, Dad and Dan. You left too soon! I needed one more Amish Market trip and to hear you say how much you liked my hair. You always said it with a grin on your face that I'm already missing! Whether you decide if you are a star in the sky or a cardinal , you will always be remembered as a great brother!

You will be missed so much by many. You were always ready to share. I wish that there were more people like you with your kind spirit. I will celebrate YOUR life because you were living life to it's fullest. And I will cherish the memories of us spending time together years ago. Also I enjoyed riding in your El Camino. May God watch over you because you had such a generous spirit. From a grateful friend. Thanks for feeding " the girls" after hanging out all night talking. You were quite a Chef! I will never forget you my friend, Bosco.
