Steve Steve is what we called him when he was a member of The Big Nut Ski House at Okemo. I have so many fond memories of that time with him and all the other nuts that skied, partied and lived each weekend together. He was so much fun and had a generous spirit. Sad to hear the news. May the the love of friends and family see you through this hard time.

Dear Mrs. Stevens and Kathy:
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Steve. Although I had not kept in touch with him for quite some time, I always remember how much fun we had together growing up in Fairfield. He was a special friend to me and we shared a lot of good times during our childhood. May God give you strength to get through this difficult time and remember the happiest of moments that you spent with him.

To Matthew and Nicholas:
I offer my sympathy and condolences. Your father was a special man with a unique personality who could always find a way to make people laugh and be happy. I was very lucky to have grown up having him as a close friend. We would get together almost every day after school to play sports or listen to music (he would entertain me with his version of Eddie Van Halen playing Eruption) or drive around in his TR7. Whenever someone was having a bad day, Steve was there to cheer them up. I have a lot of great memories thanks to your Dad. May God bless you and help comfort you.

Im so sorry to read about Steves passing. We had a lot of classes together at Tomlinson and Ludlowe and worked at Baskin-Robbins together, shared a wide group of friends. He was always so funny, fun, and a really sweet guy. I often thought of him over the years since, sorry to have lost touch as life moved along. Lots of love to all who loved him at this time.
