Remember Steve years ago at Rods Cantina. When he came in his size was such he took up an entire corner of standing room. He would meet his uncle Albert for drinks, who was Always proud to be in his company. Fell off the radar for years and years later would occasionally talk with him at PJ W Beltzville. ALWAYS a great conversationalist who remembered our last meeting. RIP Big Guy.

My condolences to the family. I was one of his students from 1975 to 1977 and had the utmost respect. He had such a positive effect on my life and no doubt the lives of countless others. I loved his swagger, his upbeat attitude and his wicked sense of humor. Goodbye and thank you Mr. Kun.
