So sorry to hear of Steve passing. He worked with me at Serv-all and I always enjoyed his company and friendship. We recently would see each other at Norwell sports events and spoke frequently at baseball games. Again sorry for your loss.

Hearty handshake, cheerful greeting, ready-for-anything smile, exquisite sense of humor Steve brightened our lives. May heaven have a reserved seat for him, down the first-base line, in the sun.

Steve was my sister-in-law's brother and I have known him for over 30 years. I remember Steve being popular for his dancing "back in the day". He always had a smile and was fun company to be around. My heart goes out to his family and friends because I know he will be missed dearly. God bless you all.

I lost my brother in law and a great friend this week Steve Bohata. I've known Steve for close to 40 years. Worked, fished and played golf with him for many years before he moved up north. Saw Steve make a hole in one and he would never let me forget it!!!! I told him a bird kicked it in the hole, it wasn't him!!!! But he did. I'm going to miss his call on Sunday's after LSU Football Game so he could tell me how good they looked or if they lost what HE would have done if he was their coach!!!!!!! I believe in a blink of an eye you are in the present of the Lord!! He's with his dad and grandpa now fishing, bowling or playing solfball in hraven. RIP, your friend, Dale

Steve was by far the kindest guy I have ever known . Such a dear friend that we had regrettably lost touch with in recent years . Steve was all about his family . This guy would truly give you the shirt off his back . Such a great guy .
We will miss you Steve .
