Steve was my best friend. We shared successes. We shared tears. I have stories about Steve that will make you laugh and orhers sure to bring a tear. Perhaps at his celebration of life I can share a few. He was kind. He was loved and will be missed.

Over the 30 years Ralph and I were married; Steve and I became very close. Especially during the time when Ralph was sick. He was very supportive through those times and I was glad to be able to give him the support he needed through his divorce and when he had cancer. He became my brother and I loved him very much. I was very happy when Dawn came back into his life. He was very happy and that made the family happy. He will surely be missed.

Steven ... my darling cousin. We lost you and Ralph way to soon. The jokester brothers ... who adoringly drove their lovely sister Linda crazy ... all in the name of fun and love. Linda adored you guys ... My hands hold her hurting heart. Such good memories sleeping over your house in the summer and when all of you would visit my family in Connecticut. The At the Game photo January 3, 2021 is truly who you were. That amazingly great big smile ... made us all smile and love you all the more. Writing this seems wrong. Your supposed to be texting me to say hey cuz I'll be stopping by before you know it. And thank you for introducing us to the lovely Dawn. You both had a beautiful life together. I along with Jim and my kids will miss you greatly. Hug your brother, your mom and dad, and my parents as well. There will be a day where the pearly gates will open for me...I'm going to look for my smiling cousin. I love you.

There are places I'll remember All my life though some have changed Some forever, not for better Some have gone and some remain All these places have their moments With lovers and friends I still can recall Some are dead and some are living In my life I've loved them all Love ya cuz, I will see you on the other side.

I'll always remember how you smiled with your eyes Uncle Steve. You will be missed

Since our Junior High days, Steve has always made me smile. It was nothing short of a miracle that he popped into my life again, when I needed him most. He brought sunshine back into my life. I will always be grateful for the miracle of Steve in my life. I will always love him. My heart is broken.

I knew Steve for 9 years... very good friend of mine, I miss talking to him and checking if he’s doing ok. It’s like a bad dream for me that I can’t talk to him anymore.

We only knew you a short time, but you made Dawn happy and made her laugh which made you a really good person to us.

Steve and I went to our SHS Junior Prom together as the friends we were and saw each other again "XX" number of years later at an SHS Class Reunion where we laughed and joked! Steve always was the same smiling, fun loving person I'd always known and he will truly be missed by everyone who knew him and loved him!

Steve was my best friend and greatest person I have ever know. You will be missed.

You left indelible memories that many will treasure.

Steve was a larger than life personality and I will miss him so! We were always close, our only fights politics! I hope his friends can attend his life celebration on 3/6/21 2PM, Burkes Cemetery, Holder, Fl.
