To Maryanne and the Pollack family.
We want to send our condolences and deepest sympathy to you and the family. I was part of Steves softball family for over 17 years and enjoyed many good times due to Steves hard work and loyalty. The memories and friends I have made over the years due to Steve will last forever. May he rest in peace.
