Memories Timeline

Guestbook

  1. I was very sorry to hear of Steve’s passing. Growing up on Nicholas Dr we were a “thick as thieves” group and had years of fun together from young kids through adolescence. Those memories will always be with me. I know how much he loved his family and children and spoke of them with much pride. You have my deepest condolences.

  2. So sorry to hear of Steve’s Death. As a fellow cancer patient I shared his fears and strengths of dealing with Cancer. But not only that, Steve was a lifelong friend from the day we moved into our home on Nicholas Drive in 1960. We remained friends and he actually attended my 60th birthday party 5 years ago. Steve was an intelligent, level-headed and gentle soul and he will be sorely missed. I’m sorry that I didn’t know until the last minute about his health but am glad that he has been spared the pain and complications that come with Cancer. My prayers are with his two sisters, and his three children. But fear not, we will all see each other again, when it’s our turn to sprout wings and hang around with the other angels.

  3. I was deeply saddened by the loss of one of my oldest friends. I wish I could go to the get together but I’m going thru Covid. My memories of Steve go back over 60 years. We shared many hours playing basketball, wiffle ball and army down the pit. I know he let me win at basketball because he was always about 10″ taller than me. But that was Steve. He knew if he won the game the game would be over. But he like me wanted our childhood games to last forever. In my last five years of little league I was the benefactor of the tallest first baseman in the league. We got together when I came home from the army . When I moved to VT, received great jokes and memes from him before anyone knew what a meme was. He attended my wedding but I’m sorry to say we’ve had little contact since. Life got in the way. A part of me has died with Steve but his memory will always be with me. Goodbye my friend and I hope we spend sometime together down the pit or at the river or up the mountain when my time comes. My sympathy to his family

  4. To my long time friend. You will be missed more than you know. I’m so glad we were able to spend time together in RI in September. The memories will never go away. Now you are in no more pain. Heaven gained another angel so spread your wings and fly my friend. Love you and you will not be forgotten.

    Prayers to the whole family

  5. My thoughts and prayers to Steve’s family and to our children. Praying for peace and comfort for everyone. I find comfort in knowing that he is at peace. I will forever be grateful for the gift of our children, something I will always cherish.

  6. Rest in peace my friend. I will always cherish the times we spent in Misquamicut Beach. I’m taken back by you departing so soon. I will miss you and the good times we had together 🙏🙏
