I just saw this. I was stationed in Panama with Steve. We were the best of friends. I looked for years to find him after we left Panama. Sad to see this. He is missed by many more people than you know as he had many soldier buddies.

My sympathy to Steve's family. I met Steve in Mazatlan on two separate occasions, the last time we spent a couple of months living down the hall from each other in the Belmar Hotel. Steve, we were good friends. Steve, I wish to thank you for your support and kind words and tidbits of wisdom that I needed during a difficult time for me. I will never forget you, rest well friend, and thank you. Anne McKennirey Ottawa Canada

I'll never forget going fishing with Cava after an!. all nighter at Bobs house! Here we are winding down Sharp Park with our fishing poles, going to the Pacifica Peir. We even bought bobbles and stuff(beer) and were ready to catch some fish with the regulars. It was quite a site being he gave me a left handed pole. It was quite an adventure and it sounded good at the time and we made it home in one piece!!....Rest in Peace Cava!!!

Sending my deepest regrets to the family--Steve will be greatly missed. I always had interesting adventures in the Bay Area, as well as in Hawaii, over the years with Steve. Whenever I think of him I have a smile on my face. Rest in Peace brother.

Knowing you're not with us here today
staring at the stars so far away
our hearts are heavy, our thoughts are bright
knowing you're our guiding light.
