You are missed by us all and the promise is to reunite as a family, as you would want us to be.
I know you are watching over all the loves of your life.
Love you,
Judy
I wasn’t ready. None of us were ready. It was not supposed to be like this.
Sleep in Peace Steven...you remain forever in my heart ??.
Judy “B”
My condolences to you all.
I write this with a very heavy heart I will miss Mr. B.
He was my best teacher ever of Stamford High School, and my class of 1987. A great man and friend. One who invited to into his home and would treat you like family for life. I was sad to my heart when I saw him last in 2017 how his illness had taken so much from his life of the man I knew and grew to love like a father, but it couldn't take his handsome smile. And that's what I will remember about him the most.
Love to the family and people who knew him well.
R.I.P. Mr. B
Love JoJo
