It hardly seems possible that three weeks ago , on August 23, 2024, our dearest friend and co-worker Steven passed away very unexpectedly. It has taken this long for the reality to set in. We have all worked together for so many years that his absence has left a void that can never be filled. He was so amazingly creative and talented that all who worked with him learned so much and were inspired. Making flower arrangements and generally making everything more beautiful was most definitely his passion. He has left all of us a little better for knowing him.
He had many other interests outside of work like reading, old movies, his family and of course his cat Ally. Though his was a dog owner most of his life, Ally stole his heart and the two were inseparable the last years of his life. Ally is once again with us and we will make sure she is taken care of forever. We will miss Steven’s laugh, his non stop talking about the latest book he is reading, catching up on celebrity news and fashion and the stimulating conversation. He was very smart and inquisitive about everything. Our days are pretty quiet now. We miss him terribly and would love to share memories of pictures here.
