Steve and I were highschool pals at PMHS in the early 70's. His humor and friendship remain to this day as some of my finest memories of school. I'm very glad I knew him and proud to read about what a fine man he grew up to be.

I fondly remember Steve and his wife Carol and their family during our time serving on the Food Pantry ministry in Pennsville, NJ. Many hours were dedicated to collecting, sorting and distributing food to those in need. Prayers were offered and fellowship was developed among the volunteers and community.
Our condolences to Carol and their family on his passing.
