Steven leaves behind many nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, cousins and friends whom he adored. Steven was a giant teddy bear who always greeted you with a smile, he remembered to always laugh and not take life too seriously, and he was thrilled to celebrate any special occasion with those he loved.

For many years, he was a member of the St. Mary's Feast Society and the Knights of Columbus Council, #1738, Cranston.
