To Stevens family I'd just like to say how sorry I am for your loss. I didn't know him personally but he was a good friend of my daughter (Dee Hawkins) and many other people that are also friends of mine. I am very sorry I never met him in person because from all accounts he was an extraordinary person. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
