MEMORIAL INFORMATION
As just previously mentioned, SO-HVR, and more so, Putnam ARC’s family lost one of their shining stars, Stephen Sturgis this past week. Stephen had been a participant in SO for well over the past decade, perhaps even the past decade and a half if memory serves. He will always be remembered for his incredible smile and the pure joy he seemingly received just from being in the pool.
Stephen attended several years’ worth of Summer State Games in Aquatics and usually returned with a medal in at least one of the events in which he was entered. Over the years he also competed on the local and Regional levels in Aquatics, Bowling and Track & Field.
Stephen will be missed by all who has the pleasure to know him. We wish to convey our condolences to his family and his friends at PARC from everyone here at SO-HVR.
Information from the Journal News should anyone be interested:
Wake hours Monday 2 to 4 and 6 to 9 pm. Funeral Mass Tuesday, at 10 am, St. Joseph's Church, Bronxville. Fred H. McGrath & Son Funeral Home 20 Cedar Street Bronxville, NY (914) 337-6770
