To Steve's family,

I had not seen Steve in many, many years and through a mutual friend, we shared a table at a beautiful summer wedding in Newport. It was nice to catch up. With lots of friends and family sending prayers his way, I know he will have a great spot in heaven.

With sadness,

Stevie,

I'm very sorry to hear of your passing. I'm very fortunate to have become friends with you, the many nights at the Carriage Inn with all of the "special" sandwiches, "The Pork Butt", "The Stuffing" and "The Meatball" were the "Best" ! I'll always remember our trips the "Marriott World" in Orlando.....the golf was great and the commradery was very special. You will be missed by many.

Your Friend ,
