I am so sorry. I did 26 years in prison. And Steve was my therapist and friend. He was the best at what he did, . If it wasn't for him, I would have been dead by now. Or doing a life sentence.  I wish he was still my therapist, no one else comes close to his talent which was everything. He gave me moral.  I miss you steve

I’m so saddened by what I just discovered.  Steve was one of the most amazing people I’ve ever known.   He helped me with so many life decisions.    He will surely be missed.  My love to his family.     I will be forever grateful he was a part of my life    Pease be with you 💐

STEVE WAS A VERY CARING PERSON, WITH SO MUCH INSIGHT. I KNEW HIM PROFESSIONALLY AND HIS INTELLIGENCE WAS PARAMOUNT IN HIS WISDOM AND IN HIS ADVICE. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED. 

The things I remember most about Steve us his booming laugh, his compassion towards others, and his heart of gold. He was a very intelligent man with lots of knowledge and great stories and analogies.  I will never forget Steve, he touched my life deeply. R.I.P. my friend and know that you are loved and missed deeply. 

I offer my deepest sympathy to Steves family and to the many members of his musical family.  He was a great guy, an acomplished songwriter, and what a voice.  There were moments when Steve performed that were absolutely the epitome of art.  Everyone knew that it doesn't get any better.  His music was pure joy for him.  I miss him now and will think of him every time we have one of our music gatherings.  Rest in peace Steve. 


I'm so sorry for your loss. Steve helped me and my family in life. My kids and I were very blessed to know such a man of great integrity and honor. I'm positive that he will be missed immensely by anyone who has been graced by his presence. God Bless.

The only thing bigger than Steve's voice, was his heart. From the very beginning of meeting him, I knew I had encountered a man of integrity, honesty, and opened-hearted warmth. I will miss that voice, but I'll miss the welcome he had for everyone, and that feeling of being special that he shared, even more.

Dan and I met Steve 5 years ago at a local music venue. It didn't take long for us to fall in love with this unforgettable guy.
A man with a Big voice, a Big presence, and a Big heart!
His love for singing and playing music was equal to his love for listening and encouraging others in their music.
A private man who revealed his heart through soulful love songs.
We will miss his music, his laughter, his humor, his encouragement and his presence. Mostly we will miss his friendship!
There will be a definite void in our music family without him.

Sending comforting prayers & hugs to all who knew & loved Steve!  
 
'Z'     Loving farewell cherished friend! 
See you on the other side...
Dan and Jeni Klardie

Over the past 10 years, I saw Steve almost every month at New Hampshire open mic events.  I enjoyed his performances and often spoke with him during breaks.  We had even discussed collaborating on some songs to perform together at one of the local coffee house venues.  This, unfortunately, will never come to fruition.  I will miss seeing and hearing him every month and am sad for the loss we are all experiencing.

I was so disheartened to hear this news. I only knew Steve through the open mic community, but whenever he stepped to the mike you could feel the anticipation in the house. He never disappointed. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.  He will be missed.

Whenever I went to Spireside and I saw Steve Z in the audience I knew I was going to be entertained! He had a presence second to none and always had a kind word for everyone. I loved his voice , there was none other like him, and loved his songs. So sorry we haven’t been able to have Spireside for a year and they will never be the same without him. Rest In Peace big guy with the kind and gentle heart!

I will forever remember Steve as the man with the big voice and gentle songs. He always acknowledged his music to be sad and melancholy, but he was the polar opposite. His was one of the biggest smiles at Spireside and he never failed to compliment me on my soup! One of the dearest men, he will be sorely missed. My love and prayers to his family and friends. 

I feel a tremendous loss.  I loved Steve's outgoing manner that was somehow gregarious and reserved at the same time. He truly was a person who enjoyed helping others in a variety of ways.  The songs he wrote are thought provoking and beautiful.  That amazing baritone voice is simply sweetness to the ears.  I am much better off having known him, having been the recipient of his wonderful advice, and having experienced his music.  Hugs all around.

I remember Steve fondly. He was a supportive, friendly face in the group of folks I saw fairly regularly at open mic events.
I met him maybe 10 years ago at an open mic at "Studio 99".  Here was a man pouring his heart out through song with the most amazing, powerful, smooth baritone voice.
I thought he was the most peculiar guy. He was that, but wonderfully unique.
He wrote and gravitated to singing sad songs. Sometimes a funny tune. He was also fun and funny most of the time- sounds odd for someone who liked singing sad songs. Though they were sad, I heard a joy in them- maybe the joy of creative expression.
He was always there to compliment me and other  performers with sincere enjoyment and applause as well as a few "whoops" along the way.
I join the many who will miss him.
I love you Steve, my friend. My best to you in your continuing adventures.

I met Steve many years ago at an open mike in Nashua NH at Barnes and Noble and we hit it off instantly. He was like an old friend I hadn't seen in years and it felt like we were never apart. He was just that type of soul.  My wife and I will miss him dearly. 
RIP old friend till we meet again.


I had the pleasure of making music with Steve over many years in the recording studio and on stage at various open mics and art show events in southern New Hampshire. He was a big presence in stature and his his persona on stage.  His booming voice that carried such emotion reached many who were also lucky enough to hear him play. Steve loved music with a passion and joy like few others I've known and that feeling spread to whoever was listening. He will be missed by those of us who knew him and shared his love of music. The big man has left the building. Rest In Peace.

I hardly knew him , except through the open mic music venues. He had such a good heart and big voice. He will be missed here in New Hampshire. I am so sorry for your loss

Steve was a beautiful, gracious man. It seemed his mission was to share his music. I loved hearing him sing with his openness and humble nature, and watch the room fill at The Spireside and The Round Room and other local coffeehouses. Steve was driven to share his heart, and he was loved for it.

Steve was such a presence,  his booming laugh, his smile and his music that brought me back to another time. What a romantic image he painted in his songs.  Farewell, Steve.

My heart aches for your loss and I offer my most sincere condolences.  Steve could light up the room with his warmth, his engaging personality and his humor.  He was always quick to compliment and to encourage others to do their best. He was a very special man and his presence will be sorely missed whenever we can gather again.  For the past 10 years, Steve and I had traveled in the same musician circles – open mics and festivals in the area.  He was an early supporter of our open mic and brought many of his friends to join us over the years.  His continuous support meant so much to me and to the music community.  He would always applaud louder and longer than anyone else and was truly delighted when other performers did especially well.  I am glad we have recordings of his wonderful voice and his original songs, but they are a pale comparison to the real thing.  I will miss him terribly and I can only hope that your memories will help ease the pain of losing someone so special. 

Steve was a jovial guy who relished every opportunity to sing and play his guitar.  His beautiful, booming voice will sing forever in my memories.  He was my biggest fan, and for that I am grateful...I will miss seeing his serene face in the audience, swaying to the music with his eyes closed.  I'll never forget his vindaloo, back scratcher,  laugh, wisdom, and the deep well that was his heart. He was a hard nut to crack, but I sure enjoyed trying!  Rest peacefully, Steve, and sing with those angels now, buddy. 

Steve was such an amazingly compassionate and funny man. He never had an unkind word for anyone and was always there to lend an ear or tell a funny joke if you were having a bad day. He was always telling jokes and sharing funny stories and videos. This is such a devastating loss for all who knew him. 

He will be remembered fondly for his beautiful singing voice, great guitar playing, and his ability to brighten the day of everyone around him. 

My deepest condolences to his family.
