I remember Steve the most for his outstanding ability to play practical jokes on people. In spite of everyone knowing this ability, he was still able to "getcha"! He had an amazing talent and just enjoyed himself so much. When I think of Steve, I will always smile. He truely left his mark on this world; another special talent. We will miss him.

We were fortunate to have met Steve in the Wednesday night card league at the Greenwich Club. His sense of humor made you laugh even if you were losing! I know you will be missed by many Steve and the card league won't be the same without you.



So sorry for a life cut short. Please know that you made a difference in this world with your smile, laugh and compassion.

I have known Stevie since we were kids in Oakland Beach. My husband knew him from the time we lived on Horseneck Road. Stevie always had a smile on his face and he will be sadly missed. We send you our deepest sympathy.

Steve was a great friend with wonderful humor. Whenever it snows I will be reminded of how Steve would call me and ask "are you working?" I will always remember him with love in my heart.
