Deepest condolences to all of the family. Knew Stephen since Lincoln school through high school. He was a good friend during those fun years in grammar school. I remember when he told me about this new band that had a very cool song out, Sultans of Swing by Dire Straits back in 78. Rest In Peace my friend.
