Not sure what to say?

Mary, I am so sorry for the loss of your Steve. I grew up in Massena too and remember him as a kind and caring person. I knew him in high school and our families went to the same church. That he became such a stellar human being is no stretch of the imagination. The world has lost a lovely man.

Many fond childhood memories of Steve and his family, as they were neighbors living up the street from my family on Bridges Ave. It was not uncommon on a summer day to see Steve on our front porch waiting for my Dad Jim Long to give him a ride to Alcoa Field for baseball. It was a pleasure to see Steve at his baseball team induction into our Hall of Fame in Massena. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Many fond memories of Steve and his Family as they lived just up the street. Not uncommon in the summer months to find Steve on our front porch waiting to catch a ride to Alcoa field with my Dad Jim Long. I*t was a pleasure to see and speak with Steve when his baseball team was inducted into our Hall of Fame. My thoughts and prayers for his family.

I was honored to work with Steve from 1990 to 1998 at The South Bend Tribune and call him a friend. Steve was a top-notch newspaperman and an even better human being, a rarity in journalism.

My deepest condolences to Mary, his family, our Tribune colleagues and all of Steve's friends. May he rest in peace.

I had the honor and pleasure of working with Steve at The Tribune for many years. I will always remember his kindness and gentleness, his loyalty to friends and family, his dedication to journalism and his love and knowledge of baseball. My prayers go to Mary and family.

My sincere condolences to Mary, Dennis and Cindy. As well as the entire Prince family. I had the distinct pleasure to know Steve through Dennis for 25 years. I have never met a man with such a kind and gentle spirit. He would always call me by my nickname with a big smile and ask me about my family and parents. He will be sorley missed by a great many people.
