I've known Steve since our shared first year at Quigley (1-H), & our friendship continued through our joint Niles & Mundelein (mis)adventures. In addition to serious human & academic maturation, we made sure to lighten the load with jaunts to northern Minnesota & Nippersink Resort with Bob Heidenreich, Ed Upton, Ken Wolkowicz & Bill Zavaski (neither locale will ever be the same) & an annual excursion by the same motley crew to Milwaukee's County Stadium to take in Cubs/Braves games, followed by dinners at Mader's German Restaurant (always at Bill's insistence). There was also the traveling weekly poker game that rotated through our parents' homesteads. In later life I was able to live next-door to Pinion, which meant more quality time with Steve & his co-conspiritors in Michigan City. They even hosted my bachelor party when I married (What other bachelors did I know?). When you're 80 years old, there's no harm in a bit of nostalgia, & Steve has provided the cherished memories for much more than a bit. Steve, thanks for those memories & for sharing your life with us.
