I was so sorry to hear about Steve's passing. I always have good thoughts and feelings when i think of Steve. My Mom, Janet, starting working at Morgan's my senior year of High School, and first met the Varon's then. All of them, especially Morgan, treated my Mom well, as if she was Family. What more could you ask. Marshall was the first Son I met. A true Gentleman. Russell was next. A Great Businessman. Steven was the last Son i met. I will always remember his smile and joviality! He had such energy and made Me feel so comfortable. All "the boys" did. Morgan and Helen had quite a Family at their business. Patti, i'm sorry to hear of Steve passing. I know that you were the best thing to happen to him. A true loving and successful marriage. May all of you, Helen, Marshall and Karen, Russell, Patti and Erica, May you all find peace and comfort from all of us. Steve was a great guy. "The Boys" were like second sons to my Mom, Janet and Shirley. I'm sorry about your loss. It's been a tough year for all of you! All my best. Christine Mac Kinnon Egan
