South Lake Tahoe, CA…Mayor Laine offers condolences after death of Dr. Stephen Bannar“On behalf of myself, city council, and city staff we’d like to offer our deepest condolences to the family of Dr. Stephen Bannar. Dr. Bannar was an integral part of this community. As a doctor, and a community member he was as well regarded as they come. He gave more than 20 years to the people of South Lake Tahoe. He helped people get well and made the community better in the process. It wasn’t just here though; Dr. Bannar took his exceptional skills across the globe working with non-profits, like Doctors Without Borders, to give back to those in need. He made an incredible investment in this community, one that continues with his wife Barbara and his beautiful children. For that, we are eternally grateful. Our thoughts and prayers are with Barbara and their two children during this difficult time,” Mayor Brooke Laine, City of South Lake Tahoe.
