I am deeply sadden for the loss of my friend Steve. I connected back with him when I attended Nick Tedesco's funeral in Oct 2006. Steve had grown up to be a loving man that loved his family and his animals. His dog Yogi bear was his love. I am so glad that I got to get to know him as an adult. We had some really good conversations and I know he is at peace for he knew God. I just found out about his passing today when I was looking up the reunion. I will always remember his sweetness.Sam Goodyear (Browning)

I remember some great times partying with Steve. Never saw him without a smile. His parents used to own a funeral home and he fasinated me with some of the stories he would tell about it. When someone our age passes away, it always makes me think of how short life really is. Humbling...Melinda Owens (Ferguson)
Great times at the mud hole!He was such a kind and sweet guy. I can't believe he is gone.

Tears flew when I first learned of Steve's passing. I never meet a kinder soul. We had such fun together. I will never forget one special 4th of July in St. Pete Beach at the top of the highrise where there is a lovely place for fine dining. We sat at the bar and got a 360* look at all the fireworks since the resturant moved. He never spoke about his illness. I never knew.
I was pleased to have meet most of his family when they would gather once a year at a small hotel. God Speed Steve.
