Stephen J. Shute

Mr. Stephen was a very kind and thoughtful person. My favorite things about him would be his love for reading and his love for Mrs. Teresa. Everytime that I saw Mr. Stephen he was reading a new book. I often asked him what the books were about, and he had no problem describing them to me. I was so impressed this that it sparked a renewed interest in reading for me. And as far as his love for Mrs. Teresa, well that was very plain to see just by observing the two of them together. But, what really sealed it for me, was how 15 minutes before she was due to come home Mr. Stephen would unlock the door for Mrs. Teresa. Such a small, thoughtful gesture was very heartwarming to see. I enjoyed observing Mr. Stephen watching the various wildlife that would frequent his backyard. He loved talking about the different birds, but he seemed really amused by the black and white cat that would limp through it often. I am praying for the family during this difficult time. I hope that peace and comfort wash over everyone who is feeling the loss of such an amazing human being.
