I only met Steve a couple of times, but have always noticed and appreciated in his children the same heartfelt qualities that people here have commented on and remember him for. What a gift. My thoughts and best wishes are with you all.

Barry and I would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Carol and my cousins. That picture of Uncle Steve really captures his essence perfectly: always smiling. Some of my all-time favorite memories in life include times spent with him growing up and later with his beautiful family. Steve was one of the good guys and will be profoundly missed. Hold tight to your memories for comfort. Love, prayers and hugs,
