  1. I’ll always have fond memories of Steve growing up with all the cousins at Grandmas house. Later in life I’ll always remember his warm smile and friendly conversations. His love of family was inspiring. To his dear family he will be missed ❤️ RIP Steve Love, Chuck & Jackie Streck

  2. Steve was my friend a long time ago. We met in college at Niagara where we shared many things including opposition to the war in Vietnam. We also shared a basement apartment in Brooklyn in the home of Mike and Katy Ahern’s family. Steve was kind, generous, a moral giant of a man, but he was also a lot of fun. He had a joyous heart. Katy Ahern told me of his passing and I regret not finding him sooner. That was my loss. I can only imagine your grief. Please accept my condolences.
