  written on le 6 Mars, 2013  Mercredi matin  en Virginie en voiture  avec la neige, la neige tombent maintenant ... gris/blanc partout .... bye bye Stephen Daddario my friend.

     Now as I type this and listened eralier to Hendrix On The West and Jimi's guitar and vocals I see that Nature with it's wet, gloppy snow fall that morning, like all of us now : Will, Joanne, Susan, Parker, Richard, Marilyn, John, Becka, Stephen's other brother, too, his parents, Mario, Delphine and so many others  : we ALL cried/cry for Stephen's passing as he will be missed sorely by all of us that have him and all he did and said over these years to lift us up and carry us along as we are privileged to have known him and to live our lives fully and with each other. Cheers, Bye Bye old friend. I will enjoy your records given to me by those that loved you - your collection of 33RPM'S and think of you as I listen to them and enjoy them ...   Anthony ( TONY ) Quinn
