Hadn't spoken to him for quite a while and found myself wondering how he was doing just a few days ago. Not a hair on my head that expected he had passed already... He reminded me in a way of the Guthred character in Cornwell's Saxon Chronicles.
"'He rather liked me', Guthred said, and I found that believable. Because Guthred was so very likeable. He faced each day as though it would bring nothing but happiness, and in his company life somehow seemed brighter." (p. 51)
So too Stephan was an unbelievably amiable fellow whose enthusiasm and courage was an inspiration to all. He will be sorely missed.
