So sorry for the loss of such a wonderful person. Some people come into your life for a brief time but leave an unforgettable impact. Mr. Portis was such a person, I had interacted very briefly with him when he was mentoring my husband and his friend's company in Hyderabad, India. He was not only a mentor to the company but also to my now 19 year old son, who has always held him in very high regard. He was a guide and friend to my son during the tough times of covid 19 and was actively...

I was a GSB classmate and a fellow Seed coach - I am so very sorry to hear about this. One of my favorite memories is when Stephen played the role of Richard Simmons (exercise guru of the 70s) leading his classmates in a GSB skit. He was hilarious! And I admired his passion and skill as a Seed coach as he worked with his companies. How you will be missed, Stephen. Thank you for how you impacted so many of us.

My heartfelt condolences on your loss.
