After 30 years together at CMA I am so sad to hear of Stephen's passing. Such a great guy, snd so generous with his time and knowledge. He helped me greatly with my research for one of I believe my best street paintings - this one in honor of the reopening of the armor.court. Stephen was never a snob but always a supportive colleague so generous of his time! Stephen, I will miss you! Best - Robin

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Stephen at CMA. He was a true Renaissance man. He always maintained a pleasant manner and was willing to share his knowledge with others. He will be greatly missed. His legacy will continue with the many publications he authored at CMA. Blessings to his family and friends.
