I was so sorry to hear of Steve's passing. It was such a treat to learn,when we first moved to Littleton when my daughter Emily was 5, that not only was Steve in the area but he offered gymnastics- a love of mine! I grew up in Weymouth, was friends and a classmate of Adrienne and Vinny, was a Weymouth gymnast with Steve and later worked with Him at Corrigans! Steve became Emily's coach for many years, a coach she loved and respected, a coach from whom she learned so much. She called me with the sad news of Steve's passing. His wonderful family will remain in our hearts and prayers.

So sorry to see of Steve's passing. We will always have fond memories of our years at Five Stars Gymnastics~ meeting the Fab Five in Boston, the annual Three Steve meets (Denise still has a t-shirt!), summer camps, and countless hours at the gym. We are grateful for being part of that great gymnastic family! Sympathies to all. Sharon Duquette and family.

We first met Steve and Suzie when they had a small gym on 2A in Acton. They welcomed our young son to stay while our older son was a guest of a friend. That invitation was the beginning of a long journey for Richard who attended their gym from elementary school through high school and then all four years of college. How fortunate by chance we got to chat with Steve last fall while celebrating Richard's birthday at Erica's. He was still his warm and engaging self and wanted to know what was going on in our lives despite the many years that had passed. Our thoughts and condolences go out to Suzie, his children, and grandchildren.
