Dr. Ken, we are so sorry to hear that your brother died. He was a very accomplished man, and I'm sure he helped a lot of people, as is your family's tradition. You and Dr. Julianne and all your family are all in our prayers.

To Sharon and the Simone family,
I just can't except the fact that he's gone. We traveled life together through grammar school and high school and even though he was miles away he always seemed close. Every time we (his LaSalle classmates) were together his name would always come up. And when it did it always brought a smile and a laugh to us all. I will treasure the memory of our last get together over dinning and drinks this past New Year's and he will continue to be in my thoughts. It was an honor to be his friend. He will be missed. Rest in peace Steve you earned it.
PS. I hope the Alfa Romeo is waiting for you all warmed up and ready to go.
