I met Stevie through his sister, Judy back in the mid to late 70's. He was always a character and so much fun to be around. I am sorry to say after Judy's passing I lost touch with Stevie. May he rest in eternal peace.

Steve and I had been friends only a few years before his passing. I had dinner with Steve almost every Friday night at Café Trio. I looked forward to seeing him every week. His kindness, humor and the way he cared for his friends will be dearly missed.
