Those we love don’t go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear..
After losing touch for almost 40 years I had the pleasure of having dinner with Steve just a few years ago He brought with him pictures of his beautiful family as well as sports articles from our baseball days. After all this time I can tell you that his style and charisma had not changed. Our prayers go out to Steve’s family
One of the nicest people I know, all way smiling and willing to help.
We will miss you Steve at Vegas Time. God bless you and your family.

Steve, we will always look up to you.
Rene, Ellie, and Olivia,
We are so sorry we cannot be near, to comfort you in a more tangible manner. Our own feelings of loss can only begin to help us understand what you must be going through. In our short time together, we learned a lot through our time with you and Steve. The love and support you share so freely is a gift to all who know you. We hope that our thoughts and prayers can offer some sliver of comfort and that one day soon we can offer the hugs we now so deeply wish we were sharing with you.
Peace and prayers to Steve.

I am there. We are there. None of us can fill the void you feel. Still, we are there beside you now in a whole new way.
Blessings and love and healing,

Rene and family,
Remembering my and Steve’s childhood times in MA on Shaw Rd. I was one among many female cousins who had a crush on him. I will miss him. Still hope to see you at family gatherings in the future.

My deepest condolences to Steve’s Family, I worked at Verizon, and knew Steve for a number of years. Though we didn’t work together, our conversations were always pleasant.
Dear Rene, Ellie and Olivia,
We were so shocked and saddened to hear of Steve’s passing. His boundless energy, generous spirit, warm smile and sense of humor made him such great company and a cornerstone of the COS community during our time in Milton. Our hearts go out to the three of you and the whole of your family. Sending you love and keeping you in our prayers.

So very sorry for your loss.Remember him from college. He was a great guy with a great smile! My prayers go out to you and his family.
Dear Rene, Ellie & Olivia,
I just learned the unbelievably sad news that our young, vibrant, generous and gentle man passed away. I will always hear Steve’s wry chuckle, his subdued comebacks and see that trademark lip curl when he was amused. And he was amused a lot.
He also offered the voice of reason and wisdom to me many times.
I send you my sincerest love and friendship at this difficult time.
Fondest regards,
Tim Fitz
Rene,
After a few days and a lot of thinking about Steve. I kept going back to how much of a nice person he was. He was slow to anger and quick to laugh. We did not get to spend as much time together as I would have like to because of my moving but I can truly say he was one of the classiest people I have ever met. I am having trouble even now writing this.

It’s no surprise Steve has so many entries here in the guestbook. He was a lovely person whose wide smile, and strong hand shake always made me feel comfortable when we met at various school auditoriums to watch our daughters perform in dance recitals. I was stunned to hear he had passed, the news relayed to me by a friend from Fairhaven who had attended high school with Steve. I can only imagine how devastating this must be for Rene, Ellie and Olivia. Your husband, your father, was a wonderful man and I am extremely saddened at the prospect of never meeting up with him again. My sincerest condolences go out to you and to the rest of Steve’s family.
