A week ago today, my brother Steve,  left this earth to join our heavenly family.  
Steve was my brother.  Of the three of us siblings, he was the best with a beautiful soul and big heart.  However, he was just as good at playing tricks and being a typical brat.  As the older sister, I got my share of tricks, like when the two brothers put my boyfriend's car up on cinder blocks where the wheels were not noticeably off the ground and when he tried to leave, the car went nowhere.  They hid behind the house and laughed their butts off.  
He was the peacemaker, and had so much love and compassion for his friends and family.  We had a special bond and love for each other, but his greatest loves were his wife and sons.  They were his rock, and he felt his greatest accomplishments were his sons, of whom he was exceptionally proud. He left us way too soon and so unexpectedly.  I will miss him, always. Distance kept us physically apart,  but we were always thinking of each other.  
Brother, I know this life wasn't easy for you, but please know you have always been deeply loved and appreciated by your sister.  Rest in peace, and may God bless you and your family.  I love you, always.

Steve and I had many great times (some not so great)  growing up as young lads playing about the Alexandria and Virginia areas.  His heart was always in the right place.    I will miss his laugh and that Martin 12 string guitar he used to strum from time to time.  He sold me a pair of leather shoes, red white and blue, at Flagg Brothers in Landmark Shopping Center Alexandria Virginia, in 1970.  Amongst other things.  God I miss him so much.  We talked a week before he passed.  My eyes are wet but I'll never forget you Steve-A-Dore.  May God bless you brother. 


Steve and I always shared an “east coast “ connection. He was  the “southern gentlemen” and I was the “yankee”. He always thought he was being sly when he asked me to say things over, just to make fun of my accent. He loved to give me a “hard time” and I loved to give it right back! Steve, I never considered you an in-law, you were just family!!! You will be missed more than you know! Love you!!
Rest In Peace! 

I have many fond memories of Steve. My favorite is when we went canoeing down the Russian river. Steve ensured us of his expertise at handling the canoe, so he trailed behind keeping an eye on us novices, of course the cooler of beer was in his canoe where it would be safe. A couple of miles down the river Steve was nowhere to be found. So pulled over to the bank to wait for him. Soon after we noticed cans of beer floating down the river. We got a kick out of making fun of the poor fools that lost their  beer. Next thing you know Steve comes around the bend, soaking wet. He informed us he got to close to shore and a low hanging branch knocked him out of the canoe tipping the canoe over. Needless to say the cooler fell out and the beer we saw floating down the river was ours! Luckily for us Steve’s friend, Fred, had stashed an additional cooler of beer in his canoe, just in case of an emergency. I guess he knew Steve better than we did. Steve made everything more interesting when he was involved. He will be greatly missed! Just one more brief comment, I was talking to Steve’s son Andy the other day, I told him if you asked Steve what his most important contribution to the world was. He would say it was both his sons. He was very proud of Andy and Matt, and the men they have become. 

Steve was a great guy. Always had a story, but he mostly talked about how proud he was of his Andy. I work with Andrew and was glad I had a chance to meet Steve. RIP Steve!!!

A conversation with Steve was always entertaining; but he had a unique habit of ending every other sentence with “okay ?” He enjoyed giving me a hard time every chance he got, but I was ok with it 😎 I’ll miss those conversations! I love you and miss you OKAY 👍

It hurts to say good by but I'm comforted knowing you are at peace with God.  I'm thankful that although we separated we were never divorced.  Our hearts and lives were too entwined.  Thank you for my greatest joys Andy and Matt.  Eternal love. Your wife, Linda.
