As we began together that summer of 1968 before starting our SHU Divinity School Freshman year - praying that those Latin classes would end - so we finish together in prayer on Saturday evening. May our beloved Sal Lenzi, Danny Petrowsky, Fr. Don Cialone & Fr. Art Humphrey greet you with all the saints in the eternal Kingdom. Always in our hearts.... (Fr.) John Tarantino & family, Totowa, NJ

My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time. I may have only known Steve for a month or so, but he impacted my life so greatly. He was so very supportive of his staff and would do anything to help them in any way he could. He made things so comfortable and right away made me feel like I belonged at Oaks Integrated. He was a great boss and person. He will definitely be missed. I pray God holds you all in your arms at this time and that he comforts you. Many blessings.

Lynn and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Steve at Twin Oaks for several years. He made me laugh every day even during challenging times. He was always very supportive of my young family. He was more than a boss but a friend. He was one in a million. Just know that he wants you to continue laughing and smiling. His legacy will live on through all of the people he has touched over the years. May he rest in peace.
