I use to work with Maria at Panasonic many years ago. I went to their wedding! Steve was a great guy with a fabulous smile and a great sense of humor! He loved Maria with all his heart and she cherished him as well. Maria has been heavy on my heart for some time and last night I had a dream about her....I had NO idea of Steve's passing until I found her on Facebook and saw some postings! I'm saddened for her and her children but I pray that God will comfort her and give her peace! Corinne McCarthy XOXO

I attended High School with Steve (Peasie) and will always remember his smile and great sense of humor. I saw him at one of our reunions and he told me how very happy he was with his family and his life. My deepest condolences to all who love and miss Steve. Cathi Cameron Albert

Very sad to hear of Steve's passing. Got to see him this past spring after about 38 years, at the Wamesit Lanes for a small gathering of TMHS guys. RIP

Maria, Alex Steve & Nick,
We are so saddened by the loss of your wonderful husband and father. The smile in the picture says it all, Steve was a true lover of life and so devoted to all of you. His courage & strength as he fought to stay with you all is proof of that. His face lit up whenever he spoke of you kids. He will remain an inspiration to everyone that knew him. He will live on in memories & stories of his many antics and always in your hearts. You all are in our thoughts and prayers. Know that we are here for you whenever you need us.

We are so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. He was a good friend when we worked together at IBM in Paramus, and then later he was so helpful when we were launching the new Smartfish Technologies business. I remember at IBM for lunch we all used to pile into his souped-up Taurus and sneak out the back of the parking lot for the best Pizza in northern N.J. Rest easy my friend.
