I´ve only known Stephen for about 10 years, through his daughter - Julie, who is my fiancée. I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know him over the years, and especially the stories and experiences of his life that he proudly shared. The power of family and relationships struck me as the central theme in Stephen´s love for life. He spoke of his brother Lee with much love and admiration, particularly his fishing trips. Like most family and friends that got to know Stephen, they wanted more...

Stephen was a neighbor & good friend. We visited him & Marsha at their home in the Florida Keys. We enjoyed times together in Scottsdale, Az. Shared meals together, fished with him, watched football, & enjoyed his stories. What an amazing, wonderful, entertaining friend. I´ll miss him very much. He was a one of a kind.
