I was saddened to hear of Stephen’s passing and I wanted to send my condolences to his family and many work colleagues. I didn’t know him that well but the times that I did meet Stephen he was always very professional and very passionate about his company and the services he provided. I am sure his passion and enthusiasm will be greatly missed by you all but his legacy I am sure will live on in the company.
