I was so saddened to read of Steve's passing, I had been cutting Steve's hair for probably 25 years although, he only came maybe twice a year. He would show up with his big Verizon Rig to see if I was available.
Always with a smile. He talked about all of his sons & families and how excited he would be to take the newest grandchild to Disney. He truly did just adore his family! My schedule will forever have a hole. Rest well , Steve.

Stephen and I were childhood friends, neighbors and classmates. We went to Lincoln school and played together in the playground, especially baseball in the summers. He was always the best player.

He always smiled and had a great laugh and sense of humor. He was a true friend, who stuck up for me during a baseball game when I misplayed a ground ball.

It was great to see him at Michael's service and we had fun catching up.

They don't come any better!

I am very sorry Janis for your loss.
