I just learned of Steve's death today. I was heartbroken. We were very close for a period of time in 1982. Even tho we had not seen each other on,many years, I always had comfort knowing he was around someplace. He was an awesome guy.

I never met Steve but I remember his great play on the basketball court at Fife High School. I was in 4th grade when he was a senior. I knew his brother Vince (IMO the best basketball player ever to come out of our town) as he played on our driveway court a few times. Steve's team, however, was better. I thought the 1961 team that Steve led could have won the title but lost to the eventual champs in the second round, then came back to place 4th. My family owned a farm in Fife and guys like Steve were my heroes. I am now a physician in Colorado but keep tabs on Fife HS and went looking in the archives. It appears that Steve had a great life which is not at all surprising. He was a leader in high school and it appears throughout his life. Rest in peace.

I was sorry to hear about the passing of Steve. I respected his generosity and sense of humor while growing up. Whether he was watching basketball, cooking up a burger, or just cranking some Kool and the Gang, he always seemed up for a good time. Thanks you for the care and memories, Steve.

I feel lucky to have come across Steve when I was a teenager growing up. My brother and I shared a love of sports with him and loved watching games with him and spending time with his extended family in the Tacoma/Seattle area. No matter what was going on around him, he always seemed to be having a good time and telling jokes. Rest in peace Steve-- you will be missed!

Steve was a guy who liked to have fun! He loved to play his organ but only knew a song or two, loved to cook a few turkey legs, watch sporting events on TV, ride in his red Corvette, dance and he thought he was the best dancer, listen and sing along with Elvis and visit his brother and sister in law in Fife. We would have the best time with them, their family and friends. There was always a gathering at the farm when we were there. Steve had a big heart and always was ready for a laugh or two. I shared many fond and fun memories with him and his wonderful family. May he rest in peace and no longer suffer.
