Will always remember the laughter you brought to our family, especially on Central Avenue. You, my Dad and Uncle Bill really knew how to entertain all of us, and of course Uncle Joe. You will be missed, God Bless and safe journey into heaven.

So glad I saw this on Facebook. Always liked Steve. Always made me laugh & had a wonderful sense of humor & a funny laugh. I remember going to Ain't Margaret's in Passaic around the corner from my Mom. Great obituary. Never knew about the baseball career.

As I remember my Uncle Steve, I think of his kind ways, his love of laughter, and his readiness to help anyone.He was like a good will ambassador to his whole family. It was always a delight to see him, talk with him and have simple, good old-fashioned fun with him.I hold utmost respect and admiration for him in my heart as I cherish those Godly, American values that he demonstrated throughout his life!

With much love,
Your niece,
Elvira
