I met Steve in 1988 and he invited me to play "jungleball" (basketball), which I respectfully declined. He was ten years younger and seventy pounds heavier than me, and I couldn't see any good in getting flattened by him!! I lost track of him after his auto accident, but i remember him as just a really nice guy. My condolences to the family, and may God comfort you in your time of mourning.
