My condolences to Maurice Stein's family.
I met him in Chicago at a Cosmetic Show
in the late 1970's where he graciously agreed

Last night I learnd of the passing of my dear friend, mentor, and confidant while I was casually browsing thru fb. :-((
The city of Burbank has lost a legend. He was a stapel in so many ways... Maurice was the [FIRST] in the Halloween business in bringing so many smiles, and excitement to so many during the month of October.
I am very blessed to have had the opportunity of having met Maurice back in the early 90's. I will truly miss him... Maurice
believed in me as I was...

Maurice was such a friend to me and all burn survivors! For the past 26 years, he always assisted me with the Image Enhancement Program at Rancho Los Amigos Medical Center and the Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors annual World Burn Congress. Maurice attended when possible to teach estheticians and meet many survivors. We all knew Maurice truly cared. He always had time for a phone chat, a quick lunch, and a few laughs....and a big HUG.
Maurice used his gifts and talents well and well...
