I'll never forget you Stephen. You were a bright spot in many people's days including mine. You left far too soon.

I met Stephen several years ago at dialysis. I was drawn to his sense of humor and sarcasm immediately! He would stop by my desk before leaving after treatment and give me a "hard time " about something silly. He always made me laugh. More recently, I got to see a side of him that he didn´t show much, a very caring, sensitive man with a lot of compassion and sensitivity. Stephen, my friend, you are dearly missed by so many and our little group of TTS first shift will never be the same. The atmosphere has changed already but we all wish you Eternal Peace. Gone too soon
