Wow! Steve lived around the corner from me, growing up. We found my first matchbox car, buried in my backyard, when I was about 5. From a million wiffle ball games behind Jack & Harry's, to hours and hours of middle school and high school summers, swimming in his pool, to playing catch, endlessly, on the side of the pool, talking about . . . well. . . girls! We were patrols together in sixth grade, and went on the Red Sox patrol trip together. Steve was . . . SUCH a good person. I am sooo sorry for this loss; to his family, and to friends. He will be missed.
