Steve, I'll miss you. You're a great man and a good friend. I will cherish the many fond memories that I have of our friendship. I wish I had made more time to visit you, but I know you'll be checking in on us from time to time. May you rest in peace with our Lord above and may he comfort your family (Pat, Steve Jr. and Jimmy etc.) during this difficult time.
