I was 4 years old when my father passed away and unfortunately I have few memories - I know that if he were around, he would have given me a great life. Since the death of my father (and even before), I was with my grandparents (Blanche and Ben Stein). They had already raised 5 kids, operated a successful business and were enjoying the benefits they deserved. But then I came along - and they were the best. My grandparents were my 3rd parent and gave me the normalcy I needed - and maybe I gave them a bit of youthfulness. My gradfather worked hard and may not have spent as much time with his children as he or they wanted. But he certainly was there for me. I can't thank him enough or even find the words to express my appreciation for the time we spent together - traveling, working, watching games, talking, going to shul, or just hanging out. He was always there for me and I wish I could have found a way to have been there just a little more for him. We were not just family - grandfather-grandson, father-son - we were friends. He taught me so many different things about life and I think I taught him things in his later years and gave him some additional pride and happiness. We spoke just about everyday - almost always at 10 or 10:30 pm and sometimes during the day. Now that my family has gone back to thier respective homes after his funeral and other family events, it is just hitting me that he is not there and I have lost the person that besides my wife, I wanted to share just a little more of my life. He was almost 92, but I only had him for 30 years - and for me, it was not enough. It is difficult for me to believe or understand that hours before he passed away, he was cognizant and very aware of his surroundings - communicating with me, my wife and my family. And then a short time later - he's gone - so fast. I am sad but happy that I had the opprotunity to gain a father and he had another chance at being a father.

I consider it an honor to have been part of Mr. Stein's family. Do you all remember at Pat and Ron's wedding, he stood up proudly, dispite his frail health. With his usual wisdom, dignity and humor, he toasted the happiness of his beloved son. "Daddy Ben" touched everyone's hearts and lives with his random acts of kindness. What a great man we lost. I have confidence in Ron that he will be all the good things his father was, and will take his place as patriarch of the family. My deepest sympathy to all of you on your loss.
