Steve was part of a wonderful family where friendships run deep and lifelong! He was a fun loving guy and his presence a familiar face in the years of our youth. Many a times his laughter and shenanigans graced our front porch or a bonfire. Can imagine how much he will be missed by his big family. May a gentle peace find you all as you say a very difficult goodbye
