I attended all 3 schools with Steve.  We were fortunate in 6th Grade to be selected to appear on the Art Linkletter's "House Party" show, along with Norman Finn, and Theresa DiLeo(who didn't remain in the Paramount School District, so she couldn't be contacted with the sad news about Steve). 

Steve and I were casual friends at times and somewhat close at other times and I always thought of him to be mature, and someone to look up to.  I liked him a lot.

As it's typical of some of our friendships that were made in our early years, our paths take us in different directions as our lives evolve, and learning about his life of late I would have enjoyed keeping in touch.

He was kind of like the Big Brother I never had, although he didn't pick on me like Big Brothers are inclined to do.

His passing was very sudden, and regardless of life in general being what it is, way too soon.  It's obvious that he accomplished many things to be regarded as a fine person, as we all should remember him.

I wish his family well and that more happy stories come their way as a comfort that he will be remebered fondly.

My prayers are with you all.

In 9th grade Phil.told me a story I have shared with others over the years. He had Wood Shop with Mr. Zaby, and every day upon Phil's entrance into the classroom Mr. Zaby would ask Phil..'Hey Mc Coy...does a Billy Goat stink?' Phil had no answer for several days when asked the question, until finally one day, in a spontaneous moment when Mr. Zaby was very close and asked this nutty question..Phil leaned in, gave Mr. Zaby two quick sniffs, and answered..'Yes'! He said Mr. Zaby chased him around the room!
