I was saddened to read of the passing of Steve. My mother was Margret Dorcy Newcaster and Steve was her first cousin. We lived a few houses away from Steves parents, and as a young boy growing up I recall fond memories of his family and mine getting together when my grand father Morgan Dorcy (Steves Uncle) would visit from Omaha Nebraska. You have my sympathy. Nick Newcaster
