My deepest sympathy to Steve's family and my Carbonaro extended family. Even though he was not a blood cousin he felt like it and an older brother at that. I spent a lot of time as a child with his three sons and cousin Michael at their house. Fond memories there as well as at family gatherings. Hold your memories too and you will always feel his love!

Words cannot express the whole in our hearts with Steve not with us anymore. He has been a good friend and cousin to us our whole lives and Billy will always remember with a smile their hunting and fishing days there and in Florida. Lots of wonderful times for our family at the Westerly house at the beach, on the boat and enjoying family time at the BBQ. He will be missed.

Steve was always one of my favorites and he was also definitely one of my dad's favorites. He was special in so many ways. His big smile and even bigger hugs will always be remembered in my heart.
