To Steve's family; sending prayers and heartfelt condolences on your profound loss. It was my pleasure to work with Steve some years ago at Diversified Control. He always had a friendly disposition and a kind word for everyone. You couldn't help but smile after after an encounter with Steve. May his memory be a comfort to you all, and may the angels welcome him into their open arms. -Cheryl Morrisey

Chrysanthe:
My condolences for the loss of your brother Steve. I recall what a devilish sense of humor he had and always had us in stitches in Greek School. Even my Dad Anthony Perdicas found him entertaining whenever we drove him home.
May His Memory Be Eternal.

Our condolences to the Critharis family. Stevie I played against you, (Brunners vs Munco) and with you, (The Big Daddy) you were always first class, and tough as nails. You will be missed, but not forgotten.
