I unfortunately found out about Stephen's passing when recently shopping at the Hickey Freeman store on Madison Avenue. Stephen helped me out several years ago when he helped me pick out my wedding suit. We had some things in common; from Central NJ, ran in high school and went to the same beaches growing up. He was a very easy going and friendly person. My condolences to the Pindar family on his passing too soon.

Condolences to the entire Pindar Family. I met Stephen in 1979 at Brooks Brothers and became instant friends. He was always quick of wit, humor and sound advice and a true friend. I received an email from Stephen on October 1st and we planned to visit the following week. He will be deeply missed. Luis Mejia, New York City and Litchfield, CT

Condolences to the Pindar family. Stephen was a wonderful man. I cherish memories of walking with him in New York and cheering our San Francisco Giants in SF, and the Christmas cards he sent with beautiful photographs and inspiring words. He was special and will be deeply missed.
