Stephen William Diaz

I knew Steven (Figi) all of his life. and look back on those years with happy memories. His warm and friendly aura were much appreciated by everyone. He was my nephew. my love to his family

We all knew him by his proper name, Fige. Fige is my cousin and good close friend we are only a few months apart. He was a real craftsman, that was some nice hardwood finish work at Bob's place. We were close as children, Fige made sure we were all welcome and included. I shall miss you, Fige.

What a shock! It is so hard to lose a long time friend and good neighbor. Steve was always so helpful to my family in the years after my husband's death. I hope he knew how we appreciated his being there for us. OUr lives were richer for having known him.

I knew Stephen only as the young son of Professor May Diaz, my colleague and friend in the Anthropology Department at U. C. Berkeley for many years. I remember his frequent visits to his Mom's office in Kroeber Hall to get spending money. I am so sorry to hear of his death. My condolences to his family.

My memories of Steve go back 50 years. I still remember making him cry as a small boy. I was swinging on a rope from the Eucalyptus tree by your house and fell on Steve's fire truck. He was probably about 4 years old.

I can still hear Steve laughing at my parents house on Christmas Day and will always remember his wonderful, smiling face. We will miss you, Steve.
