It's been six years since Steve has passed. For a while, time had stood still, as it sometimes does when you lose a friend. Prayers to Chary & also to all that remember a great friend. Carol & Roger Vonah

I first met Steve way back in 1977 at the Woodbridge Young Democrats Club. We lost touch in recent years. So sorry to hear of his death.
