Flag Lowered to Honor Stephen Barbato
The University mourns the loss of Stephen Barbato, a staff accountant who was with the University since 1978. He died April 9 at age 54. The University flag has been lowered today in his honor. A self-proclaimed "sports nut," Mr. Barbato was captain of the Rochester Wheels Basketball Team for 30 years and he occasionally spoke at local schools and organizations about the disabled and wheelchair sports. (View the obituary that appeared in the April 10 Democrat and Chronicle.)
