Dear Joanne,

My name is Shanon, you knew me from Citizens bank in West Medford Square as your teller. I had known Steve for many years since his first dog "Rocky" that he would walk over horn pond in woburn. I had walked and talked to Steve many times and loved his extreme passion for those little gargoyles he called dogs (Stella, Irving and Torque.) He was a great guy and had a funny sense of humor. He always found away to make me laugh. I still can't believe he is gone and I just noticed his bench dedicated to him over the pond a few days ago. I didn't even know he had passed away until then. I had been wondering why I wasn't seeing him over the pond once the winter had passed. Joanne, I am so sorry for your loss. I will say a prayer for you and your family and I will always have Steve in my thoughts everytime I walk over the pond. Rest in peace Steven, take care of the animals in heaven as you did here on earth. God Bless

I am beyond sorry for your loss. My name is Kristin & I walked with Steve for over 5 years with his puppys that he loved so much, I am sure they will miss him. If any family member reads this "please" contact me and let me know when you are going to Woburn Horn Pond with his ashes...I would love to be there and say a prayer...Steve to me was a big brother...he made myself and other laugh and am sure he is playing with Stella and Irving!!! Again I am so very sorry. I don't know why this happens but it does. My prayers are with you and your family!

God Bless.
