I have very fond memories of Steve growing up with the neighborhood kids on Warner NH. To us, he was always known as " Stevie." We played tag ; hide & seek; red light; splashing in the rubber swimming pool, and many other childhood games.
We lost contact after high school, but I will always cherish our childhood friendship.
Husband Dad, Mac, got me my very first car, a 1968 white Camaro! Wish I still had it!
May you rest in peace, my friend " Stevie."
