I'm so very saddened to hear of Stefano's passing. He was a tremendous advocate for all individuals and will be greatly missed. I always appreciated his kindness and laughter even in challenging situations. Thinking of you and your family and wishing you peace.

Even though I knew Steph for a short time, he was my friend. His humor and kind heart made the work day better. Hugs and prayers to you all. What an amazing angel he will be!

I want his family to know how much we admired and loved Stefano. Our student-veterans knew that he cared about them and he treated them with respect and curtesy. I am so saddened by his passing, and I will miss his joyful voice so very much.

I only met Stef a short time ago, but I'm thankful for the opportunity to get to know him. I appreciate his kind heart, gentle spirit, and ready faith. My heart is heavy and prayers faithful for his loved ones. May the Father of Compassion draw so near. I lament not having the opportunity to know him better here, but look forward to doing so in Heaven.

“Please accept my heartfelt condolences. It is never easy losing the ones we love, and your family is in my thoughts during this time of your loss.” When I worked with Stephano this last year during my work study he was very kind to me and I truly enjoyed his friendship.

I was heartbroken to hear of Stefano's passing. Such a kind, sweet man who loved his family. I was out of town and unable to attend the service, but I wanted to pay my respects and express my condolences to Karla and the boys.

We will be praying for your family my friend. It has been many years since we last saw each other. I miss our younger days at Morristown East. I am glad that we became friends, and I am glad that facebook was there for us to catch up on each other. You will surely be missed.

I am heartbroken to hear of this. I am his niece and have no idea of how he passed. If anyone has any information about this please share as his family and children will have closure. Thank you so much.
