Not sure what to say?

Steve, Rick & Karen,

We were saddened when we realized your Dad had passed away this winter & we were in Florida. We were at the cemetery today & noticed he is nearby my parents.

I have fond memories of the old neighborhood & the very special people who were fortunate enough to live there. Your Dad & family helped make those special memories.

Our thoughts & prayers are with you. Fondly, Allan & Phyllis Crocker

Who would ever want to mess with these guys?

Dear Cousins Steve, Rick and Karen
I'm still saddened and carry a heavy heart as I reflect upon the loss of Uncle Steve. I recently realized just how much the grandchildren of Michael and Elena McCarthy have in common...a true blessing for the love we have in our family. After sorting through the yelling, hollering and Italian emotions, the McCarthy family was rooted in love for family. I've attached one of my favorite photos that captures a brotherly love that trumps anything the city...

Steve, so very sorry to hear about your Dad. Sending you my thoughts & prayers. God Bless.

To all the family, I am so sorry to hear of Stephen's passing. It was always delightful to meet Stephen at school or around town. We always talked about our mutual relatives and life in the old neighborhood. I will never forget him. My sincere condolences to all. Mary Ann Cardillo Fitzgerald

Thank you for your service to Lake Ave. School and for keeping all of our little ones safe for all those years. Rest in peace, may God bless you and your family.

Steve, I just read of your dad's passing. Brian and I extend our condolences to you. It was always a treat for me when I would see him at Lake Ave. or when our paths crossed at the market. I hope fond memories help you and your family during this difficult time.
Best Regards, Chris and Brian Walker

So sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Fondly, Patti
