He had a passion for horse shoe pitching, bowling, a good game of Pinochle, Wheel of Fortune and food. He was devoted to the "Lord" and a member of St. Mary's Church" His favorite thing was to say the Rosary.

Steve always welcomed anybody that walked through the door during the last ten years of living with my mate and I, who he called, Mr. Brian. Brian opened him with welcome arms and his friends did also. He had a bigger smile for the women.

His last transition was to heaven. He was so great-full for everything. Kind, patient and always a thank you. His wants were so simple, and his gratitude melted your heart.

O Being infinite eternity!
