Steve was a kind and gentle soul. Although I only saw Steve at the wonderful holiday dinners at Betty's, I grew to look forward to seeing you at them every year. A humble and funny soul will now grace the heavens.

Growing up, Steve was my backyard neighbor. I was recalling his love of great music just last week and was shocked to read of his passing only a few days later. I remember him as being funny, full of life, having great Halloween candy, a beautiful Jaguar, awesome parties (that I only enjoyed from my home), and most of all being a great friend to my mother Margie.
He will remain in my thoughts in prayers.
