Knowing Chic since our days at St Anna’s School as youngsters, one could not find a moment when he did not bring joy to any moment. His love of life, family and music was without limits, his laughter was infectious and friendship knew no bounds. His memory will stay with us forever. Rest in Peace My Friend.

My sincerest condolences to Steve's family... I can hardly put into words what a sense of loss I feel... Chic and I go all the way back to high school when we started playing together in the Coachmen... And we were good friends ever since. I will always remember Steve's smile and laugh... It lit up the room... God Bless my good friend! You will always be in my heart!
