As a fellow member of the class of 74' and floor scrubber at all the schools in Wayland, I will always remember my times with Stubba. Not sure when his name changed to the more eloquent "Stubby" but either way he was a great friend. Always a smile and always willing to help. He used to pick me up on West Plain Street and we would discuss the usual things teenage boys would talk about on our drive to Wayland High to tackle the next job. Whether cleaning Happy Hollow or moving on to Loker. Time passes so fast. Reach out to old friends. Keep family close. Gail and family, so sorry for your loss. Try to keep the good times in your memories. That's how I remember Stubba.

As a member of the WHS Class of '74, I knew Steve but only slightly -- for instance, I was unaware of his nickname Stubby -- but I wanted to leave my condolences and pay tribute to Steve's many years of service to the town of Wayland, not only in his rise in rank at Park & Rec and at the DPW but also in his capacity as an on-call volunteer with WFD. Even his service at the Chat!
I'm sorry for the family's loss -- it sounds like a lifetime of happiness in the extended family tree.
However a major reason as well for my comments here is that I've never seen him look better, or happier. The warmth in his face tells of a good life and fulfillment and happiness. And isn't that really all any of us could ask for.
My sympathy on your loss. I hope the entire WHS football team turns out for a grand send-off. R.I.P. Steve

Condolences to the Kadlik/Koulalis family on the loss of their beloved Steve "Stubby". He was a wonderful human being and was always quick with a joke or to lend a hand to a friend. He was loved by many and will be missed. I am so happy that I had the opportunity to know him through his sisters Debbie and Patty. Although it's been years since I last saw him I will take the fond memories of all the times at his house, at Mel's and of course the "Chateau de Dudley". Rest in Peace Stubby. You were one of the best!

Gail, Cory, and Ricky:
I am stunned and saddened by the loss of Stubby. He certainly fought a good fight. Although it was so many years ago that I interacted with him, I will always remember him for the kind gentleman that he was. I hope that your happy memories of him will comfort you during this heart wrenching time.

I can still hear Stubby's voice calling to my husband in the most unexpected places!!! A balcony of a motel in Aruba!!! He called, "Hey, Jonesy, is that you up there?!""" What a riot. We had such a great time with Stubby, Gail, and the boys. One I will never forget!!!

Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

To the Kadlik Family:

I was very saddened to learn of Stubby's sudden and untimely passing. As a former and now retired Wayland Public Safety Dispatcher, I interacted with Him on a regular basis during such as as road closures and severe weather events. He was always very professional and made sure our requests were acted upon in a professional and prompt manner. I was glad when He was promoted to the position of Director of Public Works, an assignment He took very seriously. My deep and sincere condolences to your Family. May You all find the strength to guide you throught this difficult time.
