Words cannot describe how sad I was to hear of Steve's passing, and that I was unable to attend the wake or funeral due to a recent hospital stay. I'll always remember his great smile most of all. Also wanted to share some words via a 1994 Barry Manilow tune "Where Does the time Go?" from his "Singing With the big Bands" CD. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vd2n71udHp4 The first time I ever heard this great song, I knew I wanted it played at my own memorial service, because, as it says: "Wherever the time goes I will meet you there..." And we ALL will. God bless you always! Greg Burns
