My deepest sympathy to Steven's family. I will miss his "Good Morning Ladies"
as we passed his house on our morning walks.

I'll always remember a time Steve came to visit. He sat down at the kitchen table, leaned back in his chair and asked "so how are you?"

The sincerity of the question was touching and I felt like he really cared. It was an inspiration for me to care for others, even just to ask how someone is doing. Thank you Steve.

A fantastic laugh, warm greetings, great mind. Stephen, you were fantastic and I really admires you. Thank you for providing me not just friendship, but also via your son a life better enjoyed and viewed via your lens. Thank you so very much for hospitality and kindness, and just the pleasure of your company. I look forward to seeing you again. Somewhere and somehow.
