Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one’s gone. Those we love can never be more that a thought apart. For as long there is a memory, they’ll live on in our hearts. - Author Unknown In my limited time with Steve, I always enjoyed his business acumen and his ability to immediately transition conversation into something hilarious. My sincerest condolences to the entire family during their loss.

Steve had great resolve. Playing 12 inch as he did for so many years and at the high level of competition, clearly showed who he was. Although quiet on the outside he was anything but on the inside. We met and became good friends in college. He had a nick name for everyone as I'm sure all who are reading this can attest to. The irony was we could never hang one on him.I feel fortunate I had the opportunity to see him in the hospital on the 28th. Despite his pain we had a good time reminiscing and exchanging old stories. Vintage Steve. I'll miss him.

Story shared: My fondest memory of Steve.

Just had to share this story. Steve and I were in Cancun, Mexico and as you may know you can get whatever kind of prescription drug you want there WITHOUT a prescription. So we were heading through the airport on the way home to Chicago and I noticed a 'vendor' selling Viagra for only $20. So I thought I would try it. It was a big package of Viagra so I thought I was getting at least 10 or 20 pills. Such a deal! After I gave the vendor my $20 bucks, we ended up heading to the gate to catch our flight. As we were about to get on the plane, I opened the package and noticed that it was ony ONE Viagra pill shrink wrapped inside of this large container. In other words, I got screwed by Viagra. Steve laughed so hard I thought he would never catch his breath. He still talked about that nearly every time we spoke. That is my fondest memory of my friend Steve. He was a friend and a mentor and I will never forget him. May God rest and keep him forever. Jeannie and I send our deepest condolences to Sharon and Randy.

From dice baseball under Rich's carport to bowling and softball and then to NIU, Steve led me to great enjoyment. Sadly we grew apart after I moved. Just last month I found in a box two letters Steve wrote to me during his first year at NIU while I was still back home. He really was a good friend and a really nice guy. My condolences to Sharon, Randy and Bonnie.

Way too early to leave this Earth. Maybe God needed a great softball pitcher. Great guy; my best wishes to Sharon and Randy.
