Steve was one of my favorite coworkers in my 35 years with the USPS. He will be remembered for his dedication to duty, helpfulness, willingness to work no matter what and his sense of humor.
He was a rare gem.
"May the Irish hills caress you. May her lakes and rivers bless you. May the luck of the Irish enfold you. Saint Patrick behold you."
