STEPHEN J.J. MOUNT

Dear Frannie and Dave,

My name is Paula Thompson, and Paula and Bob were my god-parents. I have such wonderful memories of them both. Your mom, Auntie Paula, has been on my mind lately for some reason.

I was online looking for information on her, and sadly came across the unexpected notice for your son. I was so sorry to learn of your son's passing, and I pray that your family has moved through this difficult time.

Paula,

My dear Dave and Fran
I have just learned of Steve's passing. He worked with my late brother Skippy at IDX. I am truly heartbroken beyond words. You are truly two of the best people I have ever known. Love Suzy Phelps

I've never met Steve in person, but I feel that I know at least one side of him quite well. I was a member of www.usconstitution.net, a website that Steve set up and maintained to explain and teach about the US Constitution. Steve had a great love and respect for the Constitution. He had strong political beliefs, but moderated by his beliefs in fairness and respect for other opinions and beliefs.

I think I speak for all of Steve's USConstitution.net online friends when I say that we...

Steve was a great family man and a friend to so many. He will be missed but never forgotten.

Steve was always quick with a smile especially if it was due to an oxymoron or a pun. He was writer and he loved the double entendras (sp). I loved that about him. We would laugh during meetings that would strike us a funny an may people didn't get it. Shirt.Woot was a favorite for both of us because of the above reasons.

I remember the year of the Swine Flu (I think it was the 2009-2010 school year); all of us had to take our students to a special workshop on how to properly wash our hands. There was a special substance that the kids rubbed on their hands, then washed the way they normally would, then went into a dark room with blacklights to see the spots they had missed. They were totally grossed out! Steve was there to help explain to us how to properly wash our hands to keep ourselves healthy! :) We miss...

Steve was the best son-in -law we could ever ask for. His love for Karen and Brittany,Ryan and Jacob and also his niece, Samantha, was very strong and true. Steve was a very smart and intelligent man who was well versed on all subjects.We remember when we first met Steve ,it was in the winter and he had shorts on driving his moped. Right off we knew he was good for Karen . We loved Steve very much and miss him a great deal.R.I.P.

Karen asked that memories be added today to mark nine months since our wonderful Stephen was taken from us. Steve was a writer at heart. Once, while on a visit to family in California--he was probably around 15-- I remember sitting at my dining room table and tossing book ideas around with him. Our story line involved the theft of the Rosetta Stone, and we had a pretty great plot going. I don't know if he ever wrote any of it down, but I remember it was a fun afternoon...

Karen is my first cousin but I consider her more of a close friend. Although I did not know Steve well, I did have the opportunity to visit with the family and have dinner on occassion. Steve was a great cook but most of all, the love he showed to his wife and children was extremely rare. My heart goes out to those who were close to him and I regret not being one of them. He will be missed by all who knew him.
