I am so sorry to hear about Steve. We all grew up together on Westmont blvd. Steve, Steve Sheffer and my brother Steve Cox spent wonderful times together. I had always hoped to see them get together again Steve was a very nice person. I am lucky to have good memories of the three Steves. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear old friend and neighborhood buddy ! We have lost touch over the years, but we both enjoyed many a good memory on Westmont Blvd. Many good times as young boys. You are in God's hands now and may you rest in his care. My heart is with your family as to know what a great person you were as we were kids.
