I met Steve several years ago at the PSATS conference where I was presenting. He would ask these questions with a devilish smile. We struck up a conversation after and he invited me to work with him and the Board of Supervisors at Plainfield Township. I would see him there on occasion or at the Annual Northampton County Officials dinner. He always had a smile on his face and my wife and I would always enjoy speaking with him. May he Rest in Peace !

Melinda, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Steve. Ralph always enjoyed when he stopped at the garage for their talks about politics. He can now reunite in heaven with him.

We lost a great 1965 Aliquippa High classmate. Steve always had a smile on his face and so enjoyed celebrating his birthday at the Elks with family friends and classmates. He was a very generous gentle, gentleman. Deepest sympathy to Melinda and family. Rest in peace dear Steve. Louise Pelino McDonsld
