Dear Marcia: My family and I had known Steve for over 30 years. He was a wonderful man with a great heart, sense of humor and a true humanitarian. If there was anything you needed to have done, Steve was the guy who would show up at your door step in a moments notice. He never said, "no" to any one who was in need. I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I have said many prayers for him and hope he's at peace.

Respectfully submitted,
Judith Tirabassi-Ross
