April 20, 2023 at 10:43 amMy sincere condolences to both families, Steve Jr. and Steve Sr., for your loss. Steve Jr. was much too young. I hadn’t seen Steve Jr. in many years, but I still remember him as a toddler running around our parents’ house at Christmas get-togethers in the late 1970’s. His family and friends should be proud of the man he became.
