I only met him once back in March 2023. That's all it took to see what a pleasant fellow he was.

May he rest in peace.

I was in the Christ Church Cathedral Choir with Stephen. He was a wonderful musician and friend. He was also an amazingly talented decorator, and kindly helped me with decorating my house.
