My memories of Steve are from many years ago when he was the singer in the band and my Jim was the drummer. Chris' brothers played guitars and her father drove us to the venues because none of us were old enough to drive. I remember double dating with Steve and Chris and we'd drive around full of voice and songs. I lost Jim 2 years ago and my heart goes out to Christine knowing the grief she faces now. RIP Steve. You were one of the good ones.

My heart goes out to Tags whole family. Tag was the smartest man I ever met. He was so generous with his time and knowledge. Tag saved my daughter through High School. Without Tag she wouldn't be where she is today! I'm am so grateful for him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and sons. I'm so sorry for this tremendous loss. He will be thought of always.

So heartbroken to find out about the loss of Tag.. going through high school he saved my life many times .. I was always in his office with one problem or another and he was always there with a kind heart and a sense of understanding many people just do not have. He will always be remembered as a great friend and my personal hero my heart goes out to his wife and children who he adored and always talked about along with the rest of his family and everyone else that was lucky enough to know him

Christine and family, I was so saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I used to see him in his electric chair on Elm Street and my grandson remembers him from when he was at PHS. Remember the good times to help you through these difficult times. May he rest in peace.

We are so saddened to loose our brother/brother in law. Steve meant the world to us. Tommy´s Friday evenings will never be the same. He loved his tome with his brother, discussing so many different things. Tommy always called his brother if he had a question about anything. Stephen will be missed here on earth but we are sure he is enjoying his time with ma and PA and God. Your heavenly voice will be missed by so many. Tucker (Stephen's favorite dog friend) already misses his visits with Bumpa. Rest in peace. We will miss you bro.

I knew Mr Tag for many years. He was a warm and compassionate man with a vast creative mind. I often touched base with him to discuss students and how we could help them. He had a deep mind and a quick sense of humor. He brought goodness to all who knew him.

He was a great uncle who was full of humor and had a smile every time you saw him. I will never forget going to his house and singing songs with him. We both loved music and is something we had a connection with. I bet he is singing to everyone in heaven right now. He will be missed and never forgotten. May he RIP.
