    I lost contact with you and the boys when I left Panama in the late 80's only to reconnect last year and to have lost you before we could met and share a beer together again saddens me in a way I can't explain. Rest In Peace, my Airborne Brother! Godspeed to you and your loved ones.

    Steve and I talked many times about his pain and the anguish he felt. We shared some mutual issues and I hoped I helped him cope, at least for a short time. He was a great guy who just couldn't escape his demons. Steve, I will continue to think about and pray for you as well as Lisa and the rest of yoru family. Rest, my friend, in the peace you so wanted to find.

    Lisa and family: I worked with Steve for a few years and enjoyed every minute of it. He always went out of his way to say Hello and he always smiled when he recognized you.
    I am very sorry to hear of his passing.
    You are in my prayers


    David Lammer Troy IL 62294


    My friend Steve, words cannot express what a great guy he was. After many years of no contact, we could talk and laugh for hours just like we did in our 20s. I will miss knowing that I can call you for a little inspiration. Rest in Peace dear friend.


    Steve & I met on 9/11 when he was stranded in NJ trying to get home to his wife and family. We became very good friends and whenever he was in NJ on his projects, we would laugh and joke about anything and everything. He survived his cancer and many hurdles through his life. He made others smile when they were down!! I hope he is in peace and wish he were still with us. My prayers to Lisa and his family forever. He is now partying with his other friends who went before him. RIP Steve!!
