Dan Pantelis here. As my brother Tom said, Steve was like a brother to us back in the early 70s. Steve and I reconnected in the 90s when I was courting my wife Veronica and we became friends with Steve and Cindi. So glad we got to see them both last year, the news of his passing was unexpected.
Sorry we have been out of town and cannot make the gathering on the 7th but will be thinking of your family with love.

Dont worry about it! Our famous saying for the last 40 years! An inside joke of a fishing trip I believe aboard the Reel Anxious! Steve dont worry about it!

I have many memories of Steve, I had the pleasure of knowing him for pretty much my entire life. His Dad Robert and my Dad were childhood friends and grew up together, both served in world war 2 and raised families in Lake Forest Il, in the Northern suburbs of Chicago. When Steves Dad passed away unexpectedly in 1971 or 72 he lived with us so he could finish his senior year at Loyola. My older brother Tony was away at college so Steve took over his room and now I had a 2nd older brother. When he wasn't at school or hanging around with his friends, I got to hang with him. He had a very fast set of wheels, it was a dodge challenger with about a 380 cubic inch engine, we (he) used to get that thing up to about 70 mph and hit the bridge on westleigh road in west Lake Forest, we would be airborne for a good 30 feet or so, quite a blast.
Another time in the winter we (he) was doing doughnuts in the parking lot at St. Patricks church also in west Lake Forest. It was a very fun thing to do with the challenger until things turned dark - very dark for me. You see I used to be an altar boy at the church and the priest, Father Ogara was an old school very stern man, fire and brimstone, heaven and hell type of guy no in betweens.
So sure enough after about 15 minutes of loud doughnut making, Father Ogara is standing outside the rectory and starts beckoning us to come to him. As soon as I saw him I shrunk down in the passenger seat and told Steve lets go lets get out of here. We were a good 200 yards away- we could have ditched out no problem. But no Steve has this sly grin on his face and is staring right back at Father Ogara and say's "lets go see what he wants". Now I'm like almost crying begging Steve no lets get out of here please, please.... But no, we roll right up to Father, and he starts to let Steve have it. Souther just keeps the smile on his face and basically say's sure Father, we'll take our doughnut making elsewhere in the future. Now it was my turn, Father levels his eyes on me and starts bawling me out for trying to hide and how dissapointed he was and all that catholic guilt has me breathless and ashamed. But at the end of the day I survived and the Padre did not rat us out to my parents which could have been bad too. I think he was bewildered and impressed and amazed by that Mr. Cool behind the wheel. Anyway that's just one of many fond memories I have of Steve.
Cindi, Micheal, Samantha, and all extended family and loved ones, I am very sorry for your loss, but I know you have great memories of this wonderful one of a kind man and he will be with you always.

My words can't express how deeply sorry we are for your loss. Stevie was more than just a friend to me, as you probably know. The memories I have of all the laughs we shared over the years is forever in my soul. The support you all gave me in my time of need just solidifies the value of friendship and family beyond words. God bless all of you. RIP my friend...
