I just want to say that Stephen has had a real impact on me.  He was a fellow toastmaster and although I never got to meet him in person, I truly would have loved to.  He was humorous but could be very serious as well.  I will never forget when he talked about his time in the Navy.  It brought back memories of my own father who passed away in 2014.  He will  be very much missed.   I know it must be heartbreaking for the family and could only imagine the impact he has on the people closest to him.   My deepest sympathies to you.
