I met Steve in high school.  I have fond memories of spending time with him at gatherings.  Sometimes I’d stop by the booth he worked at in Seaside to say hello.  Steve always had a smile on his face.  Years later we reconnected on Facebook.  Since we both experienced the death of our partners ( my husband died 12/17/2008), we emphasized with one another.  Steve and I also shared our children’s milestones.  Steve was so proud of his son and family.  I lived in Puerto Rico for several years.  We enjoyed talking about Rincon and his son’s surfing there.  Steve was a kind friend.  He will be missed.  Sending heartfelt condolences to his family .  May memories of Steve bring peace and comfort during this difficult time.  

DEAR  SHANE AND FAMILY...…….PAULINE AND I ARE SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSE...WE HAVE SO MANY  FOND MEMORIES OF YOUR DAD .  THE LAUGHS  AND FUN WE ALL HAD  ON J STREET AND GROG'S BACK IN THE DAY.   HE WAS FULL OF LIFE AND HAPPINESS.....WE WILL MISS HIM......ALL THE BEST  FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.....   DENNO AND PAULINE.....DENNOS SURF WORKS......

To an all round good guy. Nice to all. Gone too soon. Rest In Peace Steve. 

I’m best friends with Bubba so we all three hung out together alot. But Steve, often joking and laughing on the outside, had a part inside him that was hurting l believe, l don’t think he ever got over that first true love, heck how many of us ever do really? 
He was the first one to lend a hand, the first to offer you something to eat, the first to make you laugh at yourself,  and the last to remind you we had a math exam at OCC! 
He was an incredible athlete, built like a greek god and a great surfer, yet l never saw any equipment or weights around, he was just a natural. 
He gave you the feeling you were always safe when you were with him, although with all the years together l never saw him ever once raise a hand to anyone. 
The last time l saw Steve l just flew into Jersey for a visit from California, l hadn’t seen Steve probably in 10 years, Bubba and l surfed all day then drove to a seaside hotel Steve was managing at the time. 

We were only supposed to stay a few minutes just to say hello, because Bub had to work the next day.  
The sun was coming up when we finally said goodbye. 
Tis true we got into the bottle that night, quite a few for sure  if l could remember, but we laughed and told old tales sitting on that seaside balcony with that sweet ocean air all night long, sometimes in stiches breathless with tears staring into each others eyes.
That’s all l ever need to remember about Steve Capone.

Steven a n I were casual friends in High School.  He was in one or two of my classes.  
I reconnected with him about 2 1/2 years ago on messenger.  I had major health issues and he wished me well.  We started talking about how he lost his girlfriend.  We talked about loosing people we love.  I would like to think that our conversations helped him...even a little.
RIP Steve. Our thoughts and prayers are with his entire family.
💙🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💙

Steve and I went to high school together and he dated my friend Cindi. Funny, caring and what a smile! Try to take comfort from the memories of Steve that still bring a smile to my face more than 50 years later.

My First Love: Steve and I met in homeroom in High School TR South. I wished him Happy Birthday  at his locker on January 8th, 1970. He asked me if I was going to the basketball game that night. I met him there . We sat up in the bleachers together and soon we were holding hands...from there on we were high school sweethearts, We were the "Perpetual Twosome"  and we dated 5 years.  Our 1st date was to a movie at the Community Theatre I don't remember whose parent drove us. We weren't old enough to drive. He was very sweet and very good to me. He had the greatest smile.  I've so many great memories made with him. Summers on Garbage Beach, His family's Sam Subs shop, our great group of friends, Bowling on Friday nights, Special occasions together,  Bob Dylan & Bubba's Jethro Tull, our trips to Cape Hatteras, N.H., Florida. Hitch hiking with a group of friends to Cherry Hill after our Sat. morning SAT tests to see Leon Russell in concert! He and Bubba making their surfboards in Rich Luthringer's  shop in Seaside Park. Watching Richard Nixon resign the Presidency on the TV at Art's Sand Bar...My family loved him. I loved him. I believe everyone loved him.  50 years have passed, that is hard to believe. The news he passed away  took me by surprise.  We shared our days of youth together.  That's why I will  always picture him as "forever young".    I send my heartfelt condolences to his family and his many friends. I hope you will find comfort in memories you made with him as I have . Sending love to Steven Michael Capone who will always hold a  very special place in my heart,  Love Cindi

My basic memory is what a great gentle kind person. We shared many classes together in high school and a favorite memory was an oral report he did for Sr. English. He did a report on Elton John’s song Crocodile Rock. It was engaging and funny as hell. I am so great full  to have gotten back in touch via FB after way too many years. I so wish I could have visited with him in person again. RIP my friend! Hugs!
