RIP my friend. I only knew you for a short time but enjoyed our friendship very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all your loved ones. I’ll miss you.
Steve’s passion for baseball dated all the way back to our playing days in St. Joseph’s Little League in the mid-1960s. Rest in peace, friend.
