To the entire Perrone family and friends. Words can not express the sadness of my cousin Steve's passing. I can always rember him laughing like Santa Clause, as most of the Perrone men do. It's a wonder ful sound. Growing up, I would crack up laughing just to hear them laugh! My fondest memory of Steve is riding back to his farm with him and we talked albout all kinds of things. He inspired me and taught me lessons he had learned in his life. I still keep that inspiration with me. Now Steve can still inspire and of us who love and have cared for him all his life. Let's all keep that inspiration flowing through the lives of our families and friends. Love Jackie

My dearest Perrone family,

My heart is broken at the loss of our wonderful Steve. He will always live in my heart for his kindness, generosity, and for the love he displayed to everyone of us - consistently, unwaveringly - without a moment of hesitation. He will be missed by so many. I send my love and prayers to my cousin Linda, my Uncle Tom and Aunt Ann, and to Steve's brothers Tom, Mark, Russ and Rick. Special thoughts go out to Steve's sister-in-law, Carol Lincoln Perrone, and all her efforts to support the family through the last few weeks. The sadness of Steve's death will reverberate throughout our extended family.

One gift above all others,
God gives to us to treasure,
One that knows no time, no place,
And one gold cannot measure.

The precious, poignant, tender gift
Of memory -- that will keep
Our dear ones ever in our hearts
Although God gives them sleep.

It brings back long-remembered things:
A song, a word, a smile
And our world's a better place -- because
We had them -- for awhile.

With all my love,
Cousin Marianne

I still remember our Sunday drives to East Hartford-either to Auntie Ann and Uncle Tom's or Auntie Winnie and Uncle Phil's. There were so many cousins to play with!! And impromptu suppers with eveyone spread out all over the house. What a great family we are blessed with. I will always remember Steve with his ponytail and hearty laugh and his big bear hugs and warm welcome for his cousin from NY. I don't know what else to say except that our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Love,

I have fond memories of Steve, as a young boy coming to our house in his cub scout uniform, summers at Rocky Neck, and Crescent Beach, and later on, his larger than life smile and infectious laugh.

He was truly a gentle man.

Our deep and sincere sympathy to Linda, Uncle Tom, Aunt Ann and the whole Perrone family.

Steve was exactly what an uncle should be. I bragged about him when I was young and respected him no less as I grew up. When we were kids, I always remember anxiously waiting for him to arrive at Gram and Chiefs for the holidays and can still remember giving him and Linda big hugs in their huge leather coats. Later, I was fortunate to get introduced to some of Steve's development plans and have learned alot about entrepreneurialism and attention to detail that I'm grateful for. I cannot believe how much he can get done on his own each day. When we bought our first house, I had Steve pop over to help me with a slight drainage problem. Before long, my entire lot as well as a couple of my neighbors properties had been completely reworked, re-graded and altogether moved. By the way, the slight drainage problem was fixed too. In more recent years, I will hold on to some of the summers at the shore at my fathers house and the trips on his boat, or rocket, or whatever that thing was. Every time I talked with Steve, the first thing out of his mouth was to ask how Shannon and Bella were doing. He was gracious and kind and incredibly smart.

I loved him and will miss him very much. Our our love,
Jason, Shannon and Isabella Perrone.

My sincere condolences to Linda and especially to Steve's parents, Ann and Tom. I remember spending time at the ocean with the Perrone's when I was much younger. When I think of Steve, I remember his smile, his friendliness and his ponytail. I'm sorry that we cannot attend the service, but our prayers and thoughts are with you. Love, Vern & Sharon

It is with such a heavy heart that I write this note to the Perrone family and all of Steve's loved ones. I am so very sorry for your loss. I lived next door the the Perrone family in East Windsor, and as anyone who knows this wonderful family, they are amazing people, kind and generous. You all will continually be in my thoughts and prayers.
