Email to our family:
I happened to see a post today about pop violinist Lindsey Stirling dedicating a recent concert to her late father, Stephen J. Stirling, who passed away in January of this year.
I had a good friend at BYU my junior-senior years, who lived just down the hall in Hinckley Hall, by that name. I have thought of him often, wondering where he was and what he was doing. I once searched for him online but had forgotten the unique spelling of his last name (Stirling, not Sterling). He even came to Arizona once, soon after our missions (I believe), and just happened to attend our ward in Phoenix. It was so fun to see him again and reminisce. He was such a fun-loving guy, one you always wanted to be around because life was so full of laughs and kindness. So I hung out with him often, double dating, etc., even though he was a bit younger, that I recall.
It wasn’t until I saw this photo on Lindsey Stirling’s website that I realized her dad was my good college friend. I’m so sorry I never connected with him before he passed.
Thought you’d find interesting the connection.
Love,
Dad
