My deepest condolences to the Keller family. I have wonderful memories of Stevie from grammar school into adulthood. He always walked quietly to his own drum. May the love of family and friends bring you comfort and God's perfect will bring you peace.

I can remember many games of ball at Eleanor Playground, St. Francis, and Audubon Park back in the day. Stevie seemed to tower over everyone. He could play the game - football, basketball, and baseball - he was a great all around athlete with a happy disposition. Some many fun times. Condolences to his family. May he RIP and may perpetual light shine upon him.

I'm so sorry to be reading this about Steve. I've been thinking about him recently bc I haven't been setting up at Parlay's on a Friday, as early as I used to when I first started my business. Steve was one of my favorite, loyal, and most friendly customers from the very start. I knew his order, 3 crawfish sausages to go, no bun! He would joke with me! When he bought a hat from me, he would say, "If you keep me waiting here any longer for these sausages to cook, you're going to sell me a t-shirt too!" He was a great man. May his memory be a blessing.
