I always liked how Steve was unapologetically himself. I won't say anything sappy because Steve would punch me for that. So here's 2 middle fingers to 2020 and farewell to the baddest badass i have ever known. RIP Poppa Steve

This man was special without a doubt. The summer BBQs followed by the bonfires that was surrounded by family. He was always the Chef of the house and always made sure me and Mary got a special piece of salmon or steak. That’s only a sliver of the greatness this man was. He was selfless, kind, funny, hard worker and more important a awesome Father and Husband. Make no mistake don’t mess with the people he cared about. Steve you made a difference in my life and I’m beyond devestated that you left this world. You will be missed but heaven got a good one. I will always think of you with a big smile on my face.
