I am so very sad to have found about Steve passing. I work at LMM Properties and he took care of all of our bug/ rodent issues. He was one of the funniest guys I had ever met and so super helpful and cheerful. I know I never met you Shelly but I cannot choose the right words to describe how sorry I am for the loss of your husband. I just lossed my husband Jim who also knew Steve so well, on Jan. 23rd,2025. My sincerest condolences to all of Steve's family and friends. I pray for all of you at this difficult time. He will always be remembered. He was really a great guy. Rest peacefully Steve.

I was shocked when I heard the news. Steve has always been a great guy and a great friend the entire time that I had known him. Always willing to lend a hand and help out. You will be missed Steve. My sympathy to his Wife Shelly, his Mom, Sister Anne (husband Joe) and all of his family and many, many friends.....

I remember meeting Steve for the first time, you were just starting to date. The 3 of us had lunch at Touch of Italy and then went to North Tonawanda for an event. After spending only a few hours in his presence I leaned towards you and said "yep, he's the one". He will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest condolences to you and your family, Shelley.
