I grew up with Steve. We lived in the same neighborhood. I have lots of childhood memories that include Steve, like tromping around in the gully behind our street, playing tennis at his house, and playing soccer together on Mr. Z’s team. Steve was always sharp and witty. He was without a doubt one of the smartest, funniest people I’ve ever met. My later memories of Steve revolve around this humor. From Junior High on we always seemed to have the same English and Spanish classes. Steve made them a lot more exciting than they otherwise would have been. He was the original class clown. You never knew what he was going to do or say, but you knew it was going to be funny. I’m sure teachers would look at their rosters before a given term and get a bit anxious if they saw Steve’s name. Despite this, he wasn’t malicious or mean to them or others. I think Steve just operated outside of the bounds in which the rest of us struggled. He saw humor in all things and challenged others, including teachers, to do the same. Aside from his humor and wit, I remember Steve as a fundamentally good person and a good friend. He definitely left too soon. Rest in peace Steve.

 This is Christmas Dance 1981 or '82. Steve, true to form, is mocking the ridiculousness of it all and cracking me up. No one could made me laugh so much, think so hard or got me in more trouble than he did. He had a huge heart, brilliant mind and lived life to all of its limits. Happy Trails, Steve. Until we meet again, rest in peace.

I drove past Steve's old home on 1500 East yesterday and it reminded me of the love I have for that boy/man. Steve, if you can hear us, I love you man. I have so many funny and wonderful memories: driving in his old truck with him and Zanny Gustin up to his ranch cabin; sleepovers at the boyden-pingree cabin in coleville with John Pingree, Ben Ball, Nate Momberger, Steve, Paul Harper, Mark Boyden, Scott Pingree, eating breakfast at Torman's in coleville; watching him kick ass as an all state (and maybe champ) archer; water skiing and hangin out with the exteded gang that included: Julie Marsden, Ellie Kurrus, Ben Ball, Paul Harper, Nate Momberger, Amanda Pahnke, Shauna Anderson, Mellissa Delaney, Mark Hanna, and more. 

I also am proud of how steve created a great life later on with his wife and kid, and he bacame a judge. Now, isn't that the irony or ironies, that our buddy Steve became a judge! I hope he was kind and merciful to young people he saw in his court who reminded him or him back in the day. lol

Steve always had a good heart. 

I miss you Steve. You will never be forgotten. You live in our hearts!!!!
