My sincere condolances on your loss. I have had the pleasure of working with Steve since he became the "face" of Falvey in the Hartford market. He won clients with friendliness, sincerity, good pricing, and service, but most of all :INTEGRITY...sometimes a missing element in this day and age. He will be sorely missed by all!
