He touched countless lives both young and old. Those who knew him will never forget him. He had the ability to shock and awe; was always the life of the party, opinionated and clear on his views. Steve enjoyed talking to anyone and everyone. He left his mark throughout New Jersey and Florida.

Steve taught me the ropes and watched after me like a big brother wherever he took me or let me tag along in my younger days growing up at the shore. We worked at New Shrewsbury Ice and Surf Rider and hung out at the Stone Pony watching Springsteen and Sea Bright Bars with Pete Nestock, Barry and Cliff his Alaskin Malamute. I hadn't seen him in a long time but thought about him often. He was a great friend and a great person. He will be missed, sad and sorry to hear he has moved on. Thanks for everything.
