Dad,
Thank you for a chance at life, the family adventures, and for the good times. I will cherish and remember all of our times together for the rest of my life.
Allowing me to be the best I could be. From hitching a ride to school in the early morning, getting the best education I could. Cutting the lawn every Saturday, helping you cook on the grill, cursing at the Giants and many other fond memories.
Our family camping trips, playing golf, and fishing. Taking family trips to other states, including our fast driving trips to the Outer Banks.
Thank you for a wonderful and grateful life. I love you and miss you so much.

Mom, We love you, are very sorry for your loss, and we are here for you.

Love always,
Rob and Kelli - Greenfield, NH.

Stephen was such a kind man. I really enjoyed getting to meet him. Margaret, I am so sorry for your family's loss. Stephen always gave me a good laugh or two every time I would go check on him. I was very sad to hear about Stephen's passing. I am so honored to have been able to care such a sweet family during a very rough period for them. Rest in Paradise. My heart aches for the Wachenfeld family. God Bless You All.
