I am thankful for knowing Steve as a big brother to my Sister (really sister-in-law) Gloria (Glo). From her wedding night marrying my brother Joe he reassured his sister that he would keep my brother in line which was a life long task. Seriously, I will remember Steve as a protector of family. Condolences to the Greco family and may he rest in peace.
