My condolences to the family during this terribly sad and transformative moment. I’m shocked, honestly—way too soon for him.
I send condolences especially to Norma, whom I met on two occasions years ago and I know loved Stephen very much.

So sorry to hear. We have wonderful memories of Steve as he played many of those sports mentioned with one or more of our boys. Christopher just called and gave us the sad news. Our condolences to Bradley, Marilyn and the rest of the family.
