Stephen was a bright light in the world. He was someone who truly lived his values. Thank you, David, for sharing the last few moments of his life with us. Sending love and support to you and your family.

My condolences to you and your family David. I'm very glad that you were with Stephen. What a wonderfully special and caring person Stephen was. I will miss him.

David, I hope you and your family can feel all the love that is flowing your way and the appreciation for all that Stephen was. I know no one who lives their values as well as Stephen lived his. He was an example and an inspiration to us all. As I think of him, I hear his beautiful singing voice, and his great laugh. I remember sitting in many AVP meetings with him when he was calm and light and wise. I remember his silliness, including dressing in a Teletubbies costume at Halloween. His expressive hands and his beautiful Michelangelo feet. I do not like to think of a world without Stephen, but I know it is a better world because of him and all the loving work that he did.
It is beautiful that you shared his last moments. Thank you for sharing this final journey with all of us.

I cannot add to what has been said. These Friends speak my mind and my heart. The world cannot do without Stephen so we must each resolve to be more like him. I am overwhelmed with sadness at our loss and with gratitude for the gift of knowing him. Thank you, David, for all that you have shared.

Barukh Dayan Emet His memory shall always be a blessing.

I will miss him greatly. Thank you for keeping us up to date. It sounded like a very peaceful passing.

Oh David,
I greatly appreciate the steadfast love and support that you have given to Stephen throughout the ordeal of his last few weeks. I am also grateful for your faithful communication on his behalf. I hope that Stephen's brave spirit finds the promise contained in his email address. Peace without end.

Thank you, David. Stephen's passing came up this morning in our Quaker Center online worship sharing. Many tears were shed and such appreciation for his gracious and generous life. I did not know him well but I am very thankful to have known him at all. It's clear that he touched many lives.

I feel such appreciation to have had Stephen in my life and to you, David, for sharing his last moments with us. What an incredible human being.

My second post here. It is so common to comment on how many people's lives anyone who dies has touched. I am struck by the extra truth in this for Stephen, in large part due to the number of organizations he made major commitments to. Other friends of his reminded me of his 'witness for peace' participation and leadership in Iraq in front of the SF Federal Building. My second thought, I don't if this is a proper Quaker way to say this, but 'compliments' to Stephen's parent Judy and Bill and his siblings for showing Stephen so well the Quaker method of 'letting his life speak.' Loudly if that is not too un-Quakerly. Love to each of us, Charlie
