Steve and I grew up together in Rockport, where our family has summered since 1960. We purchased his family sailboat called the Jolly Roger and did some sailing together on that craft.
In our later years I would see Steve at Quarry Ridge lane. Steve was a constant presence in my mothers life, always there for her and assisting her. He was like a member of our family.
Steve was a wonderful man and human being. We had many long talks about life together on our way back from Logan Airport when Steve would pick me up when I visited Rockport in the summer.
I will miss those conversations and seeing him each summer. He was a kind and gentle soul. Taken from all of us much too soon.
Our family sends its heartfelt condolences to the Walkenshaw´s and the many lives Steve touched.
He will be missed, but not forgotten.
Rest in peace, Steve.

It is with profound sadness that I write these words. Steve was such a good friend to me. I´ve known him and his family since he was 10 or 11 years old where we all met on back beach, my children included. He was a kind and giving person and was great help to me and my family on many occasions. I shall miss him.

To Steve's family and friends, my heartfelt condolences. What a great guy that will be greatly missed. It's hard to believe that we were talking and joking just hours before. He was a generous person. He and Linda were a huge help to me last year while I was going through a difficult time. Mark and I will miss you so much.
