I was so saddened to learn of Steve's passing. We were classmates at Franklin Elementary and WHS, class of '63, and lived near each other. We lived on Guthrie, and his family lived on Grace St. The writer of his obit. did an awesome job of describing Steve's interests, talents, personality, and spirit. I learned a lot that I didn't know about him. As kids, I remember Steve being rather quiet and reserved, but warm and friendly with a confident yet gentle spirit. He will certainly be...

My heart is heavy at the loss of my WHS classmate Steve Baba. He was quiet and observant back then, yet he stood out in an impressive way. Steve was kind and his hair was always in place. That "Fonzie " smooth look.
I last saw Steve at the Class of 1963 ten year Reunion. He was as nice and cool as ever. We shared an insightful conversation as to the way we all had been back in the day. His observations were on point letting me know that in his own laid back way, he was present. Steve...

Knew Stevie as a kid. They were our neighbors across the alley. Had many family get togethers. What an interesting man. He accomplished many things in his life. Deepest condolences to all the family . Ruth Kosenka Poulos.

I've been a funeral director for 23 years. I don't know Steve but wish I did. This obit is the most impressive obit I've ever seen. God bless your family and whoever wrote this ...you've touched hearts from people that did not know him in life. What a man he was. I'm sure he's still that man in heaven. But in my lifetime career never been so impressed with a man I never met. Wish I did. Rest In Peace.

My thoughts are with the family! I remember the hugs that Aunty Mary Baba would give me when I would visit her and Uncle Nicky in Highland. Wonderful tribute to Stevie - very well said! My family will hold you all in our thoughts and prayers! My mom was the oldest of Ann and Charles Fliter!

So sorry to hear of Stevie passing away, he truly was like a member of our family. There wasn't a day that Stevie didn't stop at our house on the way to and from school with my brother. he was always fun to be around. So sorry I cant make it to his memorial, but my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I don't know this person, but what an awesome obituary. A perfect testament to his life. Bravo

The loss of a loved one is never easy, but this man seems to have made his mark. I don't read the obituary's but as I was turning the page I saw his picture and though what a great picture, so I proceeded to read the best well written obituary I have ever read. Which leads me to think he had to be a hell of guy. I showed it to a few friends and we all thought we need to live a life that leaves them talking about us! Cheers to Stephen for a life lived well, he even touched a few life's after...
