Bob Patterson, Stephen’s father and a resident in Moose Jaw said, “Stephen grew up here and I think a lot of people remember him. The last time he was back in the city for a benefit concert when the Tsunami hit Asia.” Bob is hoping that lots of Moose Javians will take the opportunity to go to Regina to see and hear Stephen, a contingent of support from his home town.
