    I was deeply saddened and shocked to learn of Stephen’s sudden passing. Gail and I send our heartfelt condolences to Pat and the Dexter family. Stephen and I grew up only a couple of doors apart and even though life seperated us, we always found time for a visit to catch-up on the comings and goings of each other’s families, when we were in Brooklyn. RIP my friend

In my 30 years in the hotel business, a finer Man I have never met.

    Like everyone, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Stephen. The video is a beautiful collection of the many special moments he shared in his life with family and friends.

    March 30, 2018 at 6:18 pm

    Delphine, Rosalie, Pat and family
    It is at times like these when there are really no words to express the shock that is felt when a loved one is taken from us so suddenly. There are many days when it really does not seem like its real.
    In times like these, I am thankful that we have a Heavenly Father who promises to be our comforter and our very present help in our time of need. I am thankful that He says that He will carry us through the storms and that we need only to lean on Him and not on our own understanding.
    As I close, I pray that His peace and comfort will wrap themselves around each of you like a blanket in the days ahead; and, that as a family, you will stay knit together very closely as you mourn the loss of Steven, a son, a brother, a husband, a dad, a grandfather and a friend. He awaits you in Heaven.
    You shall remain in my thoughts and prayers.
    My sincere condolences,
    Rhonda Fralic

    Dear Pat,
    What absolutely horrible news. Please know we are thinking of you and sending condolences. I remember the first time we met Stephen and were asking about charts for Liverpool harbor. He pulled the official chart from your boat and said “here, take it for as long as you need it”. He didn’t know us from Adam and I was blown away by his generosity. He will be sorely missed.
    Big hugs to you.

    To the Dexter family and extended family. The IBEW is a brotherhood and we all feel the loss of Brother Dexter. He was highly respected and will be dearly missed. Steve climbed to great heights in the industry but remained grounded. He had great respect for all the workers he supervised and it was always returned. A moment of silence will be held at all Union meetings in the next month to remember Steve. When I remember Steve it will always be with his ever present smile. That memory still puts a smile on my face.
