A gathering will be held immediately after the funeral at the Wellesley College Club at 727 Washington Street in Wellesley, MA.
All are welcome to join us for this light luncheon buffet in celebration of Stephen’s life, as he wanted us to do.

In lieu of flowers, it was Stephen’s request that donations be made to Hands Across the World.  Contributions can be made online at www.handsacrossworld.com.

I have fond memories of working with Steve when I was a resident at st e’s.  i assisted in my first abdominoplasty with him. That experience was certainly an inspiration for me. A true loss of a great guy. ~Sean (a colleague of Pap’s)

The only thing larger than Steve’s persona was his heart. He will be sorely missed by those who knew him. Our condolences to Holly and his family. ~ Mike Ponaman (another colleague)

I’m guessing you heard the news about Pap.  Such a sad story. He had so much potential to change the world. ~Ross Ching (director of photography for Hands Across The World)

I can’t explain how blessed I feel to have met Dr. Pap. Nonetheless, he left us way too early.  Love, and long live Pap’s spirit… ~Roy Prendas Álvarez (my assistant/translator extraordinaire)
