Steve was a great neighbor. He always had a smile for everyone. He was dedicated to his family and loved each one of you with all of his heart. He had a special loving relationship with his wife Raffie. What great parents and grandparents. Steve will be missed in the neighborhood. You are in our thoughts and prayers. If there is anything we can do to help, please let us know.

Steve was such a gentle and giving man. He was wonderful to my elderly mother who used to be his neighbor. He seemed to have only kindness in his heart. There must be a special place in heaven for someone like him. Raffie, I am so sorry about this and I will pray that you and your family gather the strength you'll need to cope with this.

To Steves Family, I know you all know what a wonderful person Steve was but I have to tell you that I met Steve 33 years ago when he came to the shipyard and I must say he was a wonderful friend and co-worker. There was never a time he did not help me when I asked and thru his knowledge I learned a great deal from him. May he rest in peace now and be pain free. Always remember he loved each of you so much and he will continue to look out for you in the years ahead. God Bless you all......

To the family - most especially Raffie...
I only knew Stephen for a very short time, but in that time I saw what a wonderful man he was; a good husband, father, grandfather and, to me, a great neighbor and friend.
Thanks for everything Stephen. You will be missed.

Raffie, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you through this trying time.

To the family,
Steve will be missed and he was a true friend to me and so many of us at the Shipyard. He was my cube mate and we shared many stories about family and friends and of course work. He would always go the extra mile to help a co- worker even when it was not work related. I can truly say that he made me laugh so many times and maybe we had a disagreement a time or two. Steve was the friend you would always want in your corner because you know he would have your back. I...

I had the honor of meeting and sharing time with Steve through his fine grandson, Tyler, a young talented Disc Golfer. I was always impressed with his devotion to his family and the joy in being with them. He was always helpful, cheerful and kind despite the battle he was fighting. Steve met each day on his terms and was the better man for it. I will think of him at every tournament and miss his laugh and smile. On behalf of our club, I want to let Steve's family know we are there for them...
