Although none of you may know who I am, I knew Steve when he used to work for Edy's at the store I work at. He was always a friendly guy who knew how to make you laugh, but always had a serious side to him. He made you feel like an old friend from the first time you met him. When he went to Martins, I kinda lost a buddy. I am saddened by his loss, and my thought and prayers go out to you and your family during this time.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family during this time. Steve was a great person and we could not have had a better neighbor.

We have many fond memories of Steve and our children will always remember him passing popcorn and popsicles over the fence to them, and getting a "lift" over the fence to visit.

He will be missed very much. Our thoughts are with you.

In the 60's, we spent our time on the football fields & basketball courts. In the 70's, it was in the basements and the 80's were in the many many bar's. In the 90's we recovered and we went our separate ways but we all came back together at times in the back yards of many a friend.

Sue, Danny, Frank, Renee & Mrs Renaldi & family, we sure will miss Steve but the times will not be forgotten...

Dear Sue,i am truly sorry for your loss. Steve was a great friend to me and i will miss him very much. Although we never met,Steve had said many times how much he was in love with you and that he was so happy that he married his best friend.We had some great times playing cards at my house and we shared many common interests.In fact the last time i saw him,he left my house as the winner of the poker tournament. I was shocked to hear of his passing.I am grateful for the time i spent with him,the world is at a great loss without his presence
