I remember Stephen coming over on Sundays to watch football with our daughter Dineen. He was a Redskin fan and we are Giant fans....So when the Giants were playing the Redskins, Steve watched the game from the other room. He was a Great sport about our joke.

We loved watching football with Steve!! He was at our house a lot of Sundays. Because Steve was a Redskin fan and we are Giant fans, he watched from the living room while we were in the den. Steve took it in stride. He had a GREAT sense of humor. A light went out when Steve passed and heaven got a little brighter. He will be sorely missed.
