When visiting Englewood many years ago, I met Steve and some of his family. He was very special to me and I´d be anxious to see him every year when we were in Florida. During COVID, I brought him some homemade goodies from Maine. He appreciated that we´d thought of him. Once we serenaded him at the L and K with some "oldie but goodies" songs from times past. I loved the smiles it brought to his face. I loved our conversations about his life in Scituate, his beloved Dottie, his children.
My deepest condolences to the family. He will always have a piece of my heart. May your loving memories help ease your loss.

Steve and my husband Bill were high school friends who joined the Navy on the buddy system in 1958. Bill and I were close friends to Steve and Dottie in their early married years, before their move to Scituate. We kept in contact through the years. Steve and Dottie were special people and will be missed and remembered fondly by all who knew them and loved them. They are together now and at peace. May God rest their souls. My deepest condolences to their family.
