John Ward and Paul Fazackerley are here in Paul's house in Virginia. We are both very sad on loosing a great person and friend. We played cards in the Morgan basement and had some of the best times of our lives. We truly loved him even though he beat us in basketball and sometimes in cards. We pray for his family.

Dear Morgan family members. My condolences on the loss of Steve. I will always keep the wonderful memories of him and his family whether we were playing in the basement of his mom & dads house or at 112 st park. I still have a picture of Steve and Paul Fazackerly at Lake George when the 3 of us went camping in the early sixties. The world has lost another good person.

A good man is hard to find. Steve was one of them. I knew him when.

Ruth,
I am a friend of Steve's from the Maryknoll Lay Mission community. We met a long time ago when you and Steve visited at a reunion we had in New Jersey. I am so sorry for your loss. Hearing of Steve's passing brought so many warm memories of his sense of humor, his great kindness, and his passion for those suffering from injustices and poverty. I regret that I won't be there on May 11 to celebrate his life with you and his friends and family. I will keep you in prayer as you move into this new journey of your life.
Sincerely,
Lynn Faugot
