I just heard about Steve's passing and am so saddened. I Have known and worked with him since he was a young nurse, always could count on him for support and laughter no matter how difficult a situation we encountered. Great guy all around.
My thoughts and prayers to his family. He will always be remembered.

Words fail when remembering Steve. He was so funny and caring. I oriented him to Deac 4 a long time ago. He was an awesome nurse, but I also remember when his life changed with marriage and fatherhood. He was so devoted to his wife and kids.

Heartfelt condolences to them and Cathy.

We lost the best! So giving, hard worker. Steve's greatest love was his wife and children whom he spoke of all the time. He loved his doggie, and new what a gift his family was. I am very saddened of the loss and how painful it must be for his wife, children and family. My deepest sympathy, at this very difficult time.

I worked with Steve at NWH. He was a great nurse and a wonderful man. He was unflappable in any crisis and his sense of humor and willingness to always lend a hand made the most difficult shifts less stressful. He talked often about his pride and love of his family and always had pictures to show! He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. RIP Steve,
