Jill, I'm saddened to hear of Steve's passing. How I admired him. I feel I was blessed that he considered me one of his friends. Coach Giardini said he was the toughest player on our team. If we won a game, Steve was the one who led us in the "Come La Vista" song on the bus. We had fun.
My sympathy to you and your family. Tom Sallee
