Uncle Steve! I will miss your laughter and smiles. You had a truly kind heart, and I am so glad you were in my life. I love and am proud of my cousins, and I know it’s because you raised them with love. Love and miss you, Uncle Steve.
He had to wear corrective shoes when he was little and once they were off, he ran very fast! He ran on the rocky breaker and was a little dare devil!
A good man, humanitarian, husband, father and grandfather
He was my cousin.
I remember Steve playing
BATMAN THEME on the piano with great gusto over and over again until Aunt Fern had to say, ” That’s enough Stephen!” He was about seven. I thought he play the piano well!
Sending lots of love to you my friend.
Steve you will be missed! You were such a great dad to Rebecca, Molly and Nathaniel and a kind soul. Seeing you at family events always made me smile.
Uncle Steve, you were a kind and gentle man. Also funny and a great dad to my cousins. I will always remember the time I got to see you perform live with your band.
Stephen is my mother, Elizabeth Gleneck’s, first cousin.

Some of my favorite memories include our trips to Rockland for the Lobster Festival, our trips to Florida, hours of time spent in the car driving to all of the practices, seeing you at Myla’s recitals and Dom’s various games, watching you coach a basketball team, our trip to watch the Celtics play, my first concert when we saw The Beach Boys play, I could go on and on. But the best memory was just hearing the sound of your voice.I will always hold those memories close to my heart. I love you so much, Dad!!!
