Steve, and I grew up in the same neighborhood, schools, and had most of the same friends. I regret that we didn´t have a chance to spend our adulthood together.

I’ve known Steve for the last 40 years and had the pleasure of his managing and working with me in my travel agency for some years. He was a very special friend, a sensitive and creative spirit, super loyal and always there for you when needed. He is and will be sorely missed. God bless him and family.

My sincerest condolences to the family. Steve and I went to junior high school and high school together. I always remembered how kind he was. He truly was one of the nicest persons I have ever known. I regret your loss and hope you are comforted by the fact that he is now in the arms of Jesus and that there is no earthly sorrow that heaven cannot heal.
