Steve was our pharmacist at Drug Fair for as long as he worked in S.P. He was soft spoken, kind and always compassionate when someone in our family was sick. In deepest sympathy to Doreen, his family and friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My son & I worked with Steve at Drug Fair. My son at S. Plainfield, and I in Edison when he would cover for a vacationing therapist. He was a great guy. Gerri & Will Robertson, formerly of Edison, NJ.

Steve was very nice and had a great sense of humor. I worked with him at Drug Fair from 1980 to 1984. He surely will be missed.

"Steve" will be greatly missed. A beautiful man he was. I have never known such a person to absolutely love and admire his wife, daughters and grandchildren, the way that he did. He was strong and brave and battled his cancer with dignity and grace. My heart goes out to Doreen and the rest of the family. Thoughts and prayers during this hard time...
