To the O'Brien family - my thoughts are with you during this difficult time. I knew Stevie (my friends and I used to call him "little Stevie") as a young man when he was growing up in South Boston and later, played pickup hockey with him in Braintree. He was always proud of his family, interested in helping folks, and had a great sense of humor. His energy and love will always be with you.
