I
just found out that Stephen passed away. I have missed him for so long.
I worked for and with him for 10 years at Quill. He was the most
wonderful boss, co-worker, crazy man I have ever known. I learned so
many, many things from him, both professionally and personally. He was
so much fun. I still talk about those days with such a smile in my
heart. To his family, you were so blessed and lucky to have such an
amazing man in your lives. Of all the things I remember about him, it
was his unbelievable love for his family. I am sure you knew how much
you meant to him.
Remember how much he gave to you and this world. He was a gift to us
all.
Some of my most treasured moments were wrapped up in Stephen. I too
will miss him forever and will remember to keep up with special people before they're gone.

My family and I would like to express our sympathy to you for the loss of Mr. T. His constant smile and knowing of all the students past and present from the Bright School will be greatly missed. My children loved seeing him daily and I was always in awe as to how him remembered them by name !!! We also enjoyed seeing him down the strip mall from time to time. It was a pleasure to know such a gentleman. He will be missed greatly.
