We will truly miss Steven. Our condolences go out to his amazing wife, Rebecca, Steven’s wonderful sisters, Ivy, Cathy and Elizabeth. Also to all our family. He left us far too soon.
Love and miss you all.

Steve had that infectuous laugh, unlimited banter across so many topics and passions – a zest for life as rich as anyone I’ve met. I’ve known him all my life and despite relocating from Chicago to the UK, whenever I visited and hung out it was like no time went by. What a down to Earth and lovely human.

Special memories are countless but our shared love of Weiner circle and Lou Malnatis’s bonded us forever.

Politics? Good for a laugh and another view. He never backed down there.

Lobe of family? His cup runneth over.

I’ll miss you dear cousin !!

I’ve known Steve since 2002, when we worked together at Decoma..there’s so many memories , it’s hard to pick one. We’ve done a lot together over the years. Like seeing concerts together (Paul McCartney, The Who, Brian Wilson, Ringo Starr) to watching movie’s at Scott’s to grabbing drink’s in Roger’s Park with our friend Gary O’Boyle.

Steve I’m going to miss everything from the political banter over drinks to the movie critiques, your sense of humor, etc.. R.I.P my friend!!!
