Not sure what to say?

Truly sorry for your loss. I am so sad to come across this (albeit a little late). Stephen was our landlord on Floral St in Newton for 5 years. It was our first apartment as a couple and we were engaged and married while living there. Steve will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Steve, you will be missed! Thank you for your contributions to my MIT projects on commercializing grid-scale energy storage and vehicle-to-grid technologies. Always passionate, always interested, always a smile. Clay Siegert, MIT ESD '09

We'll never forget all your cool stuff in the barn in Newton, some crazy parties in that same barn, and you always jetting off somewhere for work. We'll think of you as energy now, floating through all the solar and wind farms you made happen.

We are sorry to learn of the passing of Steve, but grateful for his service to our nation with the Peace Corps in Benin.

Our Condolences,
The National Peace Corps Association
