Still hold you in my heart. I've been going through totes full of memories - notes, cards, photos. I've picked out my cherished bits of Steve and have transferred them into keepsake photo albums. You are my forever "Teddy". CHARGE!

Pooh - You are remembered most fondly and missed in my soul, but never out of my heart.

Our friendship began in grade school - our families were friends. He will be my forever "Teddy Roosevelt" (CHARGE!!!). I adored his parents and Archie. What fun we had terrorizing people as we drove around - top down - with Archie in the back! I miss not only Steve, I miss his parents. Spiritual hugs to the B-trio. My heart is always happy and uplifted when I think of you.

The saddest of news but the happiest of memories. Sorry I'm hearing of this only now. We had many good times together, his Senior Prom at Andrean being one of them. A good and close friend for many years to many people. He cherished his parents and I'm so thankful we became friends through our parents' friendship. I only wish I could give him one more hug.

I thank and remember Stephen Z. Bardowski, a U.S. Army Veteran for his service to his country during the Vietnam War when America and Freedom needed him. America, the Land of the Free...BECAUSE of the Brave!
