Steve and I were good friends in college and played softball together for several years after… Great guy… He was a good athlete and friend…
Steve was bright, well-read, and a genius at answering quiz game questions on tv. In addition, he was a fantastic softball player for many years after retiring from baseball where he played on the UMO varsity baseball team.

He not only loved sports, but he was an excellent basketball, football, and baseball player in high school, played on a very good UMO varsity baseball team in college, and was one of the better softball players in central Maine i
Steve and I were roommates for 6 years, played baseball and were fraternity brothers at UMO, and were friends for 55 years. He was a true and loyal friend.
Steve had a heart of gold and no one could ask for a better friend than Steve. Even with his unfortunate accident, he never complained, never asked for anything, and was sincerely happy for all his friends that did well in life. He was one of a kind!
Steve was very funny. He had a dry sense of humor with a wonderful smile and laugh. I could write a book about funny stories while rooming together and driving to California one summer, but these are all private,lol
Loyal, honest, caring, fun, mellow.
He couldn’t get angry at me, although he tried. Each time is was hilarious.
Sports, great memory.
Play sports, watch sports, and see his nephews.
His sense of humor
How to let go!
His unconditional friendship.
Mellow, funny, bright, caring, and very tough. If you were Steve’s friend, you were friends for life.
