I remember Steve fondly and his wife. They were two wonderful people who embraced each other. They were always there for their children. I recall all the times Stephen would set up the volleyball
net for Mary, his daughter, who was the all-time coach for the Sacred Heart girls volleyball team. Such wonderful memories!
