Stephen was our salesman for years and was an absolute pleasure to work alongside with. Extremely kind and patient and truly a great guy. He was very dedicated to his career but any time we were able to visit, or he would pass by our office you were greeted with the happiest smile, brightest blue eyes and he beamed talking about his family and grandchildren, his first passion. He was down to earth and would always make me laugh when I would talk to him over the phone and say "Stephen how have you been" and his reply would always be "I'm still old, fat and ugly". He made us laugh with his jokes, but our team knew he was the guy that always went out of his way to help anytime something was needed. Our deepest condolences to his Family, Friends & Co-workers. He will truly be missed. Kristy Johnson & The Hoskin Homes Team
