He was a blues harp player, played with many live bands, a studio player, and a music teacher. He would play his blues harp, anytime, anywhere to anyone who was his audience. His deeply held motto was: "God is the great Performer. Man is the great performance of God."

Very sad to just learn of Steve's passing. Steve was my high-school boyfriend. He was a very talented musician, and a wonderful guy all the way around. So much fun to be with...many wonderful memories of our time together. RIP, dear Steve!

Steve, you were a show-stopping harp player, an always friendly neighbor, and a genuinely nice and kind guy. May you rest in peace, my friend.

We always admired you at belltown park, hearing all your stories of playing gigs in nyc with national renowned acts growing up as a kid from belltown. And many years later a musician as well playing with you in your kitchen 2 or3 in the morning with Connie reading her news papers and enjoying our music. Somewhere i still have "The Kitchen Tapes!!! Also you recorded harp on every song of my only original album "Babylon" for what ever it is worth in this life, you will always be remembered as a good friend, human being and mentor. I will always remember my favorite original song of yours, "Forever" Such a long, long time. Rest in Peace Steve.

I knew Steve when I was a teen/young man growing up in Stamford. He was a tremendous musician then and I'm so glad he stuck with it. A wonderful human being as well, with a big heart; his family can be proud. RIP, Steve
