We are so sorry for your loss, may your many loving memories help you during this time. It has been a while since baseball has been all of our lives, but we have very fond memories of Steve and Carol. They were always dear friends. Steve was a good man, generous, loving toward his best player, John, and all the Tiger boys. Bless you all.

Steve was a great man and he will always be remembered , David thought alot of Steve and Steve was one of the first he talked to when he was diagnosed with leukemia. Steve gave him so many words of encouragement.

My heartfelt condolences for his family and friends. I know this is a tremendous loss as I have watched over the years on FB, time spent with his wife, daughters, son/in-laws and beautiful grandchildren. He is now home and no longer suffering.
