Stephen Muckerman Swift

Oh my goodness (as Stephen used to say!), it remains very touching you sent this out to people...thank you! I think of him more often than you might think...I happen to even have a picture of him here next to me at a Twelfth Night After Gathering...and BELIEVE ME it was not a wild one...that was not Stephen's, nor my, sort of thing. He was very proper. He was so appreciative and kind. And he and I would have lots of conversations over the years. It is very, very sad that this dear, good...

Oh my goodness...I just learned about the loss of dear Stephen! I am shocked and cannot begin to imagine how hard this continues to be for all of you! I am so very, very sorry to hear this...I knew Stephen for many years in Chicago. Such a pure soul of integrity and good cheer. My heart breaks for all of you. May the strength and love of your family and friends carry you all gently through this time. And may dear Stephen be watching over you all forever. With deepest sympathy and highest...

To all the Swift Family ,

I was a Freshman at St Leos when Steve was a Senior ! I lived in St Edwards hall right next to Steve and we became great friends as all of the guys on our Floor ! Swifty as we called him was one of the NICEST GENTLEMAN I have ever met ! I wish I had known he passed away as I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR HIS FUNERAL ! I am in total SHOCK as I have been trying to get together with him for YEARS ! My deepest Condolences to all of you as your BROTHER HAD A HEART...

We had the good fortune to know Stephen for over 22 years. He was always cheerful and and a pleasure to be around. It is a struggle to think has has left us though we know he is in a better place. We will miss him.
