9 Years Later, never far from My Thoughts or My Heart. I Love you and I miss you. I wish I could hear the sound of the ice in your scotch glass, or you taking a drag from a cigarette while on the phone with you one more time.

Carole & Family
I had the pleasure of working with Steve at Laux for nearly 10 years. I always liked working with the "older" guy. We decided one day that I was "retro" and he was "vintage"! I smile every time I think of that! Things at the Boulevard will never be the same. He will be sadly missed. I wish him Peace.

To Carole and Family,
I enjoyed working with Steve at Laux Sporting Goods for 5 years. My fondest memory of Steve (and there are alot)is the day he christened me as a Boston Red Soxs fan. I remember telling Steve that they would go to the World Series after beating the Yankees and and they would Sweep to win! Steves exact words were "you are crazy LADY, it willl never happened!" and well it did!=] Boy were we both surprised! I learned alot from Steve. I enjoyed listening to his conversations about all the things he has done in his life. I know his family was his life.I am sorry to hear of his sudden passing. He will truly be missed by all. May God Bless you all during this difficult time.God Speed Steve!!!!

Papa Steve, you have been the most wonderful father that anyone could ask for. Thank you for always being there for us, for listening when we needed someone, for leading us by example and for showing us how to truly love unconditionally. You have no idea how much you are going to be missed. Please watch over all of us, especially Mom. She is lost without you. Godspeed Papa Steve... I love you!
