My husband and I both ran with Steve with the local running clubs. He was such an inspiration and would always have a kind word of support for those of us "regular" runners. He was so talented in his running. We will miss him.

Steve and I ran at the same highschool, he was a year younger. We ran nearly every weekday morning together for about year. You get to know someone quite well after spending that much quality time together.

Steve ran through life with a smile on his face.

I also got to know his dad and am sorry to hear about your loss.

We feel very lucky to have run into Steve just this past month, and was able to catch up with him and his accomplishment in the Boston Marathon. He will be missed very much but NEVER forgotten. We have wonderful memories with him that will bring smiles and laughter to us, and others, for the rest of our lives. We consider ourselves fortunate to have known him and to have been his neighbor for several years.

You now know the answer to the 22+ Year Halloween joke . it is no longer a mystery to you. I hope it made you smile when you realized.
