In the early sixties Steve and my art careers followed each others from job to job without ever meeting each other. As luck would have it we were both transferred to Chicago. We finally met and we felt we had known each other forever.We bonded. I will miss the fun we had and our phone calls.
I love you as a brother and will miss you always.

Jean, Ang, Mike, and all of the grandkids who will miss Grandpa so--My heart goes out to you, knowing how important Steve was to us all, and how large a hole he will leave in our lives. Will miss him terribly. Love from Aunt Carol

RIP old buddy. You did more for me than give me rides to school in your '56 Chevy. Over the last couple of years, your spirit emboldened me and your friendship enriched me. Always sorry that Norton and I got you kicked off the wrestling team, but I hope I made up for it by teaching you to put the sauce on your gyros sandwich so that it wouldn't be so dry.

My sincere condolences to all friends and family of Steve. I am an old high school friend, and the memories I have of Steve will remain with me. May he rest in peace.
