Steve. We met in 1976 and worked together for over 15 years. My time working for Otto and everyone including you have alway been a pleasure and I always think back to when times were more simple. You and I made some cool road trips and my time knowing you is still fresh in my mind. Its sad that you left here but you are truely home now.

Otto.... Time goes by but no matter how much time passes by I still always think of my time working for you. You were always very kind to me and you know i always gave you everything in the way of a good days work. I still do the copier thing and thoughts of my time at copi quik and the Insdorfs will alway put a smile on my face. I hope you are well..... You and Steve have left a lasting memory in me. I always try to be the best I can in my business and it all started with you and your kind family.... i just wanted to let you know this.

It's been 25+ years since Stephen and I last spoke. I just found out by accident. We were the very best of friends. I wish that time didn't pass so quickly.
May GOD always be with you.

Hello Stephen, I was thinking about you today and I wanted to say hello. I think the Labor Day Holiday and what it represents reminded me of our working together. God bless you and your family especially your sons.

Dear Otto and Marion,

Our deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family.

As you know Harry and I loved Stephen with all our hearts.

He was such a kind hearted, gentle man.

Harry is especially distraught over his sudden death as he considered Stephen to be his closest, oldest and dearest friend.

Although they lost touch off and on over the years, every phone call and get together reminded them that they always had each other and their bond as true friends was just as strong as ever.

We think of Stephen often, as we do his children, and hope that the boys will be strong and equally as caring and true as their father was.

With deep regret and sympathy,

Linda Anagnostakos

How sad I am to hear of Stephen's death. I had the pleasure of working with Stephen and knowing him personally during my years of employment at CopiQuik. I also enjoyed spending times with his sons when they visited at the office. I had an especially close relationship with Ian. My heart reaches out to his children whom Stephen loved so much.

One of the many things I adored about Stephen was his sense of humor. His quick wit made me laugh so many times at work. His type of humor was so unique in a way that I could totally relate with.

Stephen will always be remembered for his kindness and big heart. Although the world has lost a kindhearted, funny, compassionate man his family and friends now have an angel in heaven watching over them.

My deepest heartfelt sympathies go out to Otto and Marion, his sons and all his family and friends.
