I have had the please to work with Steve in US Customs Office of Investigation. Steve was a true gentleman and one heck of an investigator. He brought many high level and important cases to a successful conclusion. I will miss seeing him at the FOP Lodge meeting. He was a dear friend. May his memory be a blessing to his family and friends.
