Dear Carmella,
You don't know me, we've never met. I had the privilege of working for Steve after his hiring me in 1983.I was referred by his close friend Skip Marsden via a Palm Springs vacation with Harold & Mary Lou Casson. I worked with Unicco for almost 2 years. I had great admiration for Steve and liked him very much. I was also a member of Oakley C.C. for 25 years and knew many of his friends who also had great respect & admiration of Steve.I just learned 2 days ago of his passing and though not seeing him these last 20 years would certainly have visited & paid my respects.
He was a great guy & will be greatly missed. My prayers are with you and yours.

Very sorry to hear of your loss. Steve and I chummed around in High School, and he was my T-Bar partner when Wildcat Mountain tried to decapitate me in 1961. By the way, Nanci his black car was a 55 ford.

I am stunned so see that Steve died. I was close to Steve in High School....I called him and left a message regarding the reunion, but for probably obvious reasons now didn't hear back. I liked him so much.. his wit, smarts, gentlemanly ways.......My mom actually approved of me driving into the Green Frog with "Mouse" as we all new him. He used to pick me up on Pleasant St. and drive me to school. He had a big, black, I think Caddie or something if I remember right and.... we used to pick Andy Anselmo up at New Prep in Cambridge after we got out of AHS.

Mouse was a cult figure back in the day. Those of us in the 'hood on Pleasant Street, Martha Belden, Paul Lewis, Richie Guiffre, George Baxter, John Finley, just to name a few, thought he was awesome. He had some great parties and we could always count on him for some great laughs. When we finally got him to an Arlington High School reunion 10 years ago, he was surrounded all night by classmates who were so glad to see him. We'll miss you old friend!

I guess I should address these thoughts to Bobby and Diane Kletjian, who may not even remember me. (I did not have the pleasure of meeting he spouses of Ricky or Steve). I grew up in the old neighborhood, bowling with Steve and John Finley and playing cards in the park at 'the pond'. These were the old,old days. After high school, I left Boston and saw Steve again at a high school reunion ten years ago. It was wonderful to see him again and I was in awe of his accomplishments. I recall fondly making a mental note that his mannerisms and humor remained the same as when we hung around as young kids. I had planned and wanted to call him during the past ten years, but, unfortunately, did not, for fear of being intrusive after so many years. I missed the recent high school reunion, as did he, so, in a quiet moment in the Emergency Room where I work, I tried to find him on the Internet. Despite my lack of contact over the years, I am deeply shocked and saddened to learn of his passing and I regret all the more that I did not call him at the number he gave me in California. I lived in Santa Barbara for many years and work in Tucson now, so was close to where he visited in Winter. I really can't express how I feel at this moment, because this hasn't sunk in yet. I don't believe I am writing this at 3 AM in a hospital emergency room where earlier I saw someone die and had professional distance, to which I have become accustomed, and now I have no such protection from my emotions.

Diane and family,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Steve. I have such fond memories of him from high school. He was giving, kind and so funny! I still have a wooden bracelet he brought me when I had surgery in 1963.
