We lost a great one this week with the passing of Stephen Sancho, an incredible son, brother and friend. He was taken too soon and will be greatly missed by so many. Stephen left an unforgettable impression on everyone he met, whether hanging around the neighborhood or cheering on the Yankees at Yankee Stadium (or more likely at La Bodega). He had the kindest of hearts and was the type of friend everyone hopes to have.

During this difficult time, we are seeking donations to help cover the cost of his wake, funeral, and burial. Any donations, big or small, are truly appreciated. With Stephen’s mother Linda’s permission, I will be receiving the funds in order to make payment to the relevant vendors. Thank you for your generosity.
