I worked for Steve when I was in college and I have spoken with him throughout the last 25 years. He was always there to give an encouraging word. He was a such a wonderful person and will be terribly missed. I am very saddened over the news. I thought of him not only as my boss, but as a friend who always had time to say hello. We had so much in common being we were both from down state and both loved the Adirondacks. My prayers are with his family. He spoke of all of you with such love.God Bless You All-

Dear Barbara and Family, I had the priviledge of working for Steve and am honored to call him a friend. He was one of the 'Good Guys', always a smile and a funny story balanced by compassion and understanding for all. But, most of all, he loved his family dearly. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.

Barbara & Family,
I know I speak for all of your "lunch lady" friends( family really) , Steven will be greatly missed. We will be there to help you over this. Never under estimate the power of the "lunch lady" prayer either. It will help you. Don't be afraid to reach out to any of us, we are all waiting to help.
