I served with Steve in Germany, he was one of a very few people to serve in a Atomic Demolition Squad for the US ARMY. He and I spoke often of our home towns, I grew up in Portsmouth NH. He lived a fine life and the thought shared here confirm what the other squad members knew even at that young age. Rest In Peace.
