Stephen was my best friend all through Jr. High & High School. We first met in Kindergarten, but re-connected in the 8th grade doing a play called "The Curious Savage". He was a wonderful friend and a great, generous person. I know he was really happy in Key West, and very involved in the community there. He will be sorely missed.
