Dear Denise and Family,
So sorry to hear of your tragic loss. We were always so fond of Steve since our days in Little League baseball. He was always happy and so helpful to Jerry when coaching the kids. He had a heart of gold, a constant smile, and loved being around the kids. He will be greatly missed.

Denise, Renee,and Matthew,
I am deeply saddened by the loss of your husband, your father, and my friend. I will miss talking about sports, kids, and life in general. Steve was always able to make me, and everyone who knew him, smile. From the "combing my hair with a firecracker" comment the first time I met him to his acting like Wilson (from tool time) I will miss his sense of humor. He, as with the your whole family, has always been so kind to my family. I know my 3 little guys, especially Michael, will miss him dearly. Denise, Matthew, and Renee, if there is anything that you need no matter what we are here for you. May God bless Steve and your entire family.
