You touched me in a sort of (spiritually conscience) way. I never saw your face, but I heard your voice. We were both young, and the world was new, and I thank you dearly. JF

Long before I worked at WDAS-FM, I met Steve in Atlantic City and he, Jay Mark and I became good friends. Steve and I then drove his brand new Corvette to California where he was going to school. As we drove across the country, people would wave at us...it was the height of the TV Show "Route 66",,,,,they thought we were the guys! Mr Leon (Max) told me, "I'm sending you to California to watch out for my son." I have many good memories of Steve, and I'm saddened by his passing.
