Please accept my deepest condolences at this very dark time for all that had the privledge of knowing and or coming into contact with Steve. He definately was a very liked and loved person. I knew him from High School. He was a great friend and was always willing to talk. I was always jealous that he lived so close to the school. I was glad to hear that he and his daughter traveled to England and visited places frequented by The Beatles. Rest In Peace Steve. You will Always live on in our hearts.
