Steve Martell

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

By Lamaretta Simmons

To Steve's family & friends - I just heard the sad news. I would have come to say goodbye but I just now found out. Steve was the kind of person that would give the shirt off his back. I worked with him at Magnetic Metals but also had the privilege and enjoyment to get to know him personally, to sit and talk with him at his Merchantville apartment. He waited so long to get his drivers license back. He was so happy he could drive again. Then I was with him the day he won ten thousand dollars...

Marilyn,

STEVE was a buddy of mine .Played baseball,lived life and generally was glad I lived when he did, he was a funny guy, always upbeat, alive and yes--- one of the boys from the Hill. IT IS HARD --he's no longer with us but he's still here in our hearts, our memories. Steve-- Good Bye until we meet again in the next game-- practice up.

Charlie from Cramer Hill

With much condolence to one of the good ole guys in the Hill. I'll always remember the great times hanging out. Rest in Peace Steve.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all family and friends of Steve. He was a good man and wonderful friend to my father. We will always keep you in our hearts.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of Steve, he is no longer suffering, he is now watching over all of his friends from Cramer Hill, god bless you Steve
