My condolences to the Becker family at the sudden loss of their loving husband, father and brother. I felt fortunate to have met Stephen (and Jill) on the recent trip to Cuba with BIJ. Stephen was intelligent, warm and kind - everything you hope for when meeting strangers while traveling. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May Stephen's memory always be for a blessing. He always had something pertinent to say or contribute whenever I saw him. I recall him in uniform at funerals of fellow service members, showing respect and kindness I only wish I could be there in uniform to repay such kindness. Rest gently Stephen and may his family know he touched many hearts and is remembered fondly.
