Steve was my neighbor for 20+ years. He was such a kind and gentle soul. We'd sit on his stoop in good weather and talk about life, kids, our hopes, a little gossip. He gave me tomatoes he had grown in his yard and helped me out when I asked. We just talked a few weeks ago as we were getting our mail. He was a friend and will be truly missed as one of the good souls on our block.

I, like many people, wish that I had spent more time with him. We both worked at Friendly when we met. I left but maintained a nice warm friendship. I will miss him. I hold fond memories of us watching games and even played some tennis. He will always be fondly remembered. Rest easy now my friend.
