How can anyone truly describe Stephen &Melina? He was like a father to me in so many ways. Melina, a character. Speaking 7 languages and surprising us everyday. Stephen had a way about him that put a small petty man to his knees. Mel. Had his back. Forever and ever. I was there for the ride. Met them in 1990. They were there for it all. And made me me a better person. I do miss both of them always. Your both together now. Forever and ever babe.

Hello. I knew Stephen back in the mid 90's when I took care of his wife Melinda. Over the years I have thought about my old boss. He was a very determined, and caring. He only wanted the best for her. I'm sure he lived out the rest of his days caring for his family the way he did when I worked for him. God Bless!

Dear Fiana,
Stephen was one of a kind. Many will be deeply missing him.
As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
With love and hugs,
Judy

My heartfelt thoughts and condolences are with Fiana, such a mainstay for Stephen during difficult days. Stephen was a dear friend of my late husband Jim and a treasured friend of mine as well for decades. He was highly intelligent, intellectually curious, funny, uniquely witty and entertaining. He was always his own person but also always exceptionally, extraordinarily loyal. He truly will be missed.
