I had the pleasure of knowing Stephen for many years (since high school)when I would help with marching band and as a substitute teacher for band. He was a wonderful person, and when he came back from serving in the Army, he visited me and he shared many stories with me. My family and I would like to express our deepest sympathies with his family and know that we will keep him in our heart, thoughts and prayers always.
