I worked with Stephen Sprouse for 15 years — starting fresh out of college as his lowly assistant during the years 1987-90, and continuing to help him on special projects until his untimely death from lung cancer in 2004. He was much more than an employer to me. He was a mentor, an older brother and most of all, a dear friend. I created this video for his Memorial in a matter of days from a suitcase full of VHS tapes. The quality leaves a lot to be desired but, regardless, I believe it successfully captures Stephen’s unique spirit. I miss him.
