I had the pleasure of playing music with Stephen many years ago. He was a beautiful soul and a gifted musician. My deepest condolences to Stephen's family and friends.

Had a lot of good times with Steve. A lot of antics! You all remember. I didn't know Steve all of his life. But roomed with Mike. Knew Dave as well. Years ago. Dave gave me a Jan hammer album I'd been looking for, for years!!! Thanks Dave! Mike and Joe and Rahisha (hope I spelled that right). Mike I hope you are well!!! All my deepest condolences to your family!!! PS, I reconnected with Steve a few years ago. Sadly, I did not keep up
