His mesmerizing tales were loved by all.

Steve was also dedicated to serving his community as a volunteer EMT, an active Sub Vet, and most recently a mentor in local public schools. But the most important thing in his later life was his adored grandchildren. No conversation could go on very long without a mention of their recent accomplishments. They were all his shining light and he was so very proud of each of them. His legacy will live on in his grandchildren who will always hold memories of him close to their hearts.
