How fortunate I was… Steve was my brother, and I watched him grow over the years. I watched him survive a near death experience, and get to become the person he always wanted to be… an Author. I saw his writing skills grow and become more researched , and I saw his joy through it all. Loved you bro, and give Dad a kiss for me.
Just the greatest guy you could ever meet or be lucky enough to be in his circle of friends. I will miss your kindness and musings about the universe. Godspeed my friend.
I will miss you my friend see you in the next world and don’t be late.
I knew Steve first as my first manager at Amica. I liked him right off the bat. He was down to earth, funny and a genuine person. I encouraged his writing because I thought he had genuine talent. I’m so glad he got the chance to pursue that interest. He greatly loved his children and grandchildren whom I’m glad got to know him. I will miss him. He was a great person and friend. My heartfelt condolences to his family.
