Where to begin? Growing up in Somerton was a privilege and blessing. Dave Stephen is synonymous with Somerton where his presence covers all the years of my life. An unabashedly proud Ridgerunner, I have fond memories of times at the school on Johnson Ridge when he coached the Somerton boys to baseball championships to the basketball games coached by his father, Fritz!
Later, during his many years representing Lashley Tractor Sales at the Ohio Valley Mall, from a distance he would shout out your name once he recognized you. And during the pumpkin festival, he was an avid ambassador for Lashley and the community. He knew everyone and, conversely, everyone knew Dave.
At our house at the end of the street, Dave was known as “Big Seneca”. Our father, Willis always called him by that nickname. I don’t know the whole story but suspect Seneca Lake is involved. After our parents’ retirement when the “Malaga Mall” filled the void left by the closing of Bewley’s/D &M General Store, Dave would pick up Dad every Sunday morning for a weekly therapy session! This kindness was especially appreciated during Dad’s final year.
Rosemary, Rise, Chris, Matt and families, my sincere condolences on your loss. May God bless you and fill you with the many happy memories of this special soul, your husband, father and grandfather.

I am very saddened by Mr. Stephen's death, and I know he will be missed by many. He always welcomed me into his home like I was part of the family. I'm so glad I got to see him Thanksgiving a year ago.
I first met Mr. Stephen back in my college days when I was his daughter's (Rise) roommate at West Liberty State College. He seemed to enjoy when Rise would take me to their home on weekends, and I recall how much he loved watching the weekend football games. I felt his love then even though he had just met me, and I felt his fatherly love still many years later whenever I saw him.

I am very sorry to read of the loss of, Mr. Stephen. He was a very faithful and dedicated man, married for 65 years! I won't pretend to know what you're going through, but what has helped me deal with the loss of those I love, is turning to the Scriptures, something that has been a real source of comfort. One Scripture that gives me hope is, John 11:25, which says, "Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life." I hope that this verse will also comfort you and, I hope you and your family can get through this difficult time. Please accept my condolences for the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandpa and friend. Sincerely, Meryl, jw.org - healingwordsforu@gmail.com
