Stephen,was introduced to me by fellow friend Bill. As a counselor,friend and as fans of the Bills we spent 10 yrs together. As a God given professional he helped me to truly believe,”that I was a worthwhile person who deserved to be well”.
His impact on me was profound and I am eternally grateful for him to have been in my life.
Amen

Stephen was one of the greatest catalyst for success in my career. A simple affirmation of believing I was a”worthwhile person,who serves to do well” changed my life,that along with a power greater than myself was life altering.
Thank you Stephen,” job well done”!
Peace,

Dear Ann,Stephen and Family,
I knew Dr Stephen Stayer for many years and extend to you my sympathies at his passing. In working with him, I found him brave, when others were not, kind, direct, skilled in psychology and always gracious. I learned a great deal from him and what skills I have in psychology I owe to his mentoring. He was a spiritual person; I have no doubt that he rests in the grace of God and that we shall see him again.

Dear Ann and Family,
Thank you for your call today to let me know about Dr. Stayer's passing. I offer my sincere sympathy. I first met Dr. Stayer in 1982 as an intern in psychology. I learned a great deal from him and was always impressed with his insights and intellect. He remained a good friend, teacher, and colleague We worked together in private practice and I thank him for that opportunity. I wish his family the best. May his soul rest in peace.
