Stephen V. "Steve" Karlson

Our high school party in 2008 gave me the opportunity to reconnect with Sandy. I had had a big crush on him in sixth grade and had paid him a dime for his autograph. We shared a good laugh over that. A few weeks later, I received a letter with the “original” dime attached, telling me if I no longer had his autograph, I could send mine. It is such a special memory, and I am grateful I had the chance to spend even a short time with such a wonderful man. He told me all the Mary Lee Burbank kids...

We were dear friends since the 6th grade. A year ago we talked on the phone for 2 hours, and reminisced with continuous laughter. He is sorely missed.
My love and condolences to his family.

You have my deepest sympathy. May good memories provide solace for your family during this challenging time; and may God provide you with the assurance that you will see your loved one again in Paradise. John 17:3

May the God of all comfort grant you peace during this difficult time.Romans15:13

Sandy and I had become the best of friends over the past few years and throughout his fight with cancer. We were in constant contact until just before the end. I would call him to cheer him up and he would have me laughing uncontrollably for hours. His attitude and sense of humor were remarkable.

I spent quite a bit of time with him when he visited his hometown of Belmont, MA this past September. I am going to miss his thoughtfulness, his strength, his faith and his sense of...

Condolences... Bill Laverty BHS '59
