Everyone who knew Stephen knew how much he loved the “Ridge”, Moody’s Diner, Chase’s Daily, he was a huge history buff, anything to do with Gettysburg, and Chamberlains Charge!  Stephen will always be remembered for his infectious laugh and the way he told stories. We’ll always imagine hearing him say, “Eye of The Tiger and Fix those Bayonets” one more time.
