Cory,
You may not remember me but I have really fond memories of you and Steven from our childhood. Both Dick Beck and Steven Tamaroff told me of Steven's passing and I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family.
I have kept in touch with Jerry Levine (whom I spoke to this AM and he also is saddened by the news), Alan and Gary Stein and several other HP people. Beck told me that the Stein boys both came to NJ to the funeral and paid their respects.
That was really great of them.
I hope that you and your family are comforted by Steven's memory. His memory should be a blessing for you and your family.

Rick Miller (from 10th Ave.)
