Steve was a very dear and compassionate man who loved my cousin, Patti, so very much. I met him when he and Patti were engaged and had the pleasure of attending their lovely wedding. He had an amazing sense of humor and complemented Patti's own wonderful humor and laughter. My love and prayers are with Patti in this time of her loss.
