Steven Waldman Obituary

WALDMAN, STEVEN J. We are saddened today by the loss of Steven J. Waldman. Steve grew up as a very popular, athletic person in Miami Beach. He loved playing basketball for the Hi Tides and was VP of his high school fraternity, Knights. Tragically, he lost both his loving parents his senior year which took the wind out of his sails. His road ahead had many twists and turns and he was always heard to say,'I can't catch a break'. He smoked cigarettes and cigars and lost his battle to lung cancer. He fought his battle like a champ and was fortunate to have the kind and caring attention of his friend Carol Scott who would massage his feet while in the hospital. He liked that very much. Steve is missed by his buddies, Rich, Stu, Mike, Daryl, Louie, Jack, Jeff, Tommy and many more.

I've known Steve since we were 12 years old. He had a dry sense of humor and aways made me laugh. I'd like to thank and knowledge the help given on Steve's behalf by Donald J. Glazer. Mr. Glazer, an attorney who met Steve Waldman once, was so kind and generous with his time in guiding Steve's friends to make Steve's last days as peaceful as possible.

Steve was my friend and I miss him. We used to pass the time of over a glass of beer and talked about the good old days in Miami Beach.

Steve was a tenant in the building I live in and we became friends. I miss him and regret that he was not around for many more years.

I only met him a couple of times, but it was readily apparent that he was a sweet, fun loving, cool guy.
