Steve, I didn't know you that well and wish that could have been different. The times I did meet you were filled with laughter as was every conversation on the phone. You will be greatly missed by all. You are now in a better place. I send my condolences to my Aunt JoAnne and family in this time of sorrow. Love, Therese

I played youth baseball against Steve back in the early '50's in Alexandria. I recall his getting a number of hits off me which was a big deal then because I was a star pitcher.

I was happy for his making it to the Majors as an umpire. I remember the incident he had with Dallas Green which became a nationally covered sports story.

My condolences to his family and friends.
