Same sentiments and Paul and Bob. One of the most memorable teachers even this many years later. Guided us though Canterbury Tales, and how to interpret poetry and musical lyrics appreciation. A dedicated Brother and a friend if you need one. A star among staff at La Salle Academy.

Brother Stephen was a great man who had an incredibly positive influence on so many during his years at the Academy. He was loved and admired by all. A tough man, who demanded excellence, balanced by compassion and affection. He had a very positive impact on my life and even though I was on the wrong end of a few, well maybe more than a few, interactions, I will be forever grateful for his guidance. I expect that he and Mr. Curtin are sharing a few good laughs with Saint Peter.

My deepest sympathy to all of you. Brother Stephen was a brilliant teacher and as they say in the LaSalle Community "A Good Man". He inspired so many students as a dedicated Christian Brother. He will be missed. May he Rest in Peace
