Steve processed the life insurance claim when my first husband passed away during April of 1997. Steve was a good man and often kidded me that he had to keep pestering my late husband to get life insurance (thank the lord for Steve's determination). I was shocked to learn of his passing. My prayers are to his wife and family.

The Maher Family:

I was sadden to hear about the passing of Steve. Although I did not know him well, he was always very kind and professional. He will be missed by many.

I send my condolences and prayers to Steve's family. I remember Steve as a very positive and fun loving guy--we had a blast in high school! He lived by my grandparents Hazel and Gilbert Anderson in Lakewood. I have some great memories of sailing with him on Chautauqua Lake and hanging out at Eric Wolfes' house by the lake.

I was saddened to hear the news of Steve's passing. My high school memories are of a guy who was friendly and funny, without trying to be.
