Stephen was a wine connoisseur and enjoyed the pairing of good wine with good food. The two of them also loved to travel.  Stephen also had a passion for photography. He was very charitable and gave to Jewish charities, the cancer society, and military charities. He was a great man who was happiest being around the people he loved.  He will be missed.
