It is a blessing and an honor to know somebody who cares so much about his family. You will not come across a greater man! Steve was one of the most genuine and nicest guys I have ever known. I will really miss sitting with him at the football and basketball games. I am truly sorry for your loss.

Lou and I send our most sincere condolences. We will remember him as a loving husband and father, and a vital part of the Burriss clan.
To me personally, he will be remembered most as the man who set the standard for those of us who knew him in his Minkoff position as the Maryland shops' top man.
