Steve and I were good friends during high school. We both belonged to DeMolay. Many times we went places together on our bicycles. I remember riding out to the town of Groton one day during that time. We were both interested in HO model trains at that time.

 Stephen was funny and smart.

Stephen and I lived on the same street and went to the same schools and church. We also both worked for his Mother who was a caterer for elegant weddings and parties in the Boston area.  He had a great sense of fun and laughed easily even when small boys pestered him about his height when we walked to the Junior High West.  He was an interesting conversationalist with knowledge in science, math, and engineering and I enjoyed our friendship throughout the years.
