Stephen was a dedicated and hard working volunteer at The Arc.  He hated to miss a day and always apologized if he needed to be gone for an appointment.  He was a valued part of our team.  He hated any public recognition of his work, but was always proud of all he accomplished.  He would help us set up for events, made sure the copiers had paper and helped organize and clean when needed, but he seemed to love the most fixing lights displays for The Arc's Lights.  We built him his own workstation where he could work with minimal interruptions and work he did.  Most any display with rope lighting within our route probably has been worked on by Stephen.  His efforts will be helping us shine again this Holiday season and for years to come.

 We were glad to help provide a safe place he could share his time and talents and find a personal purpose.  His onry spirit and servant heart will be greatly missed.

Stephen was always the most polite, best behaved member of his group of friends in high school. I remember his love for the TV show MASH. I was always amazed at his memory for trivia, especially MASH trivia. I haven't seen him in years, but I will miss him.

Stephen has always been a great friend to me.  We met during our freshman year at Bishop Carroll and have been friends ever since.  I enjoyed our time working together at Dillons #30.  He couldn't have been kinder, but did have a ornery side that he could break out on occasion.  He agreed to be the Best Man at Stacy and my wedding over 25 years ago and he enjoyed the position.  It was tough to see him struggle with his health over the years, but I was impressed with the support his family continued to give him through the harder years.  You will be missed buddy!!!!
