Hey Steve, it's me Ben I have been really missing lately. I have been very interested in the corvettes especially the the new c8 model that just came out recently. I also miss the days when I used to come to your house and play on your arcade games and look at your corvette it was really cool, and it was really shiny. I am now just turned 12 and about to graduate 6th grade.

To Steve 

from Ben

Just found out you passed my roommate in college. We met playing soccer, had many art classes together. We painted away the hours in our college house. You were in my wedding  , we enjoyed our time together. Though we each went our separate ways I always thought of you. Rest in peace my Steve you will always be in my heart and thoughts as I create new Art. May we meet again to paint the heavens !

Steve Pagiavalas was one of my closest friends at SUNY Fredonia.  He lived in the room across the hall from me. We designed a game together to accentuate the study of business risk. He did the artwork to flesh out my idea. I drove to his parents' house in Old Bethpage, my first time driving through New York City,  to work with him. The game went nowhere,  but our friendship became very strong.  I had not heard of his passing until today,  July 29, 2022. He was a fantastic artist and terrific friend.

Steve was a mentor of mine at JFK. I never took art with him but connected with him when he proctored an exam. From that point on, we became super close. We stayed in touch 25+ years later with an annual call, but I had no idea he had passed away. I'm so sad and hope he's in Heaven listening to Stevie Wonder, riding his bike, painting odd characters, and making endless wise-cracks.

I had the pleasure of working with Steve for my entire teaching career at Kennedy HS.  He was by far one of the most creative educators I have come across.  He was an inspiration to his students as well as to his peers.  Being an amateur artist, I always went to Steve for advice.  I would write to him occasionally on Facebook and think of him often  I look at the drawing he did of me when I retired.  It is hanging of our den wall...I was so saddened to hear of his passing...He will be missed (and surely never forgotten)  by all who knew him.

Iwas so sorry to hear about Steve’s passing  back in our high school days he was a  senior when I was a freshman  and he was a great athlete and a hero of mine We both played soccer as a matter of fact I had the pleasure of playing with his brother Nickie. But most importantly he inspired me and totally taught me how to Pole Vault and I was able to follow in his footsteps on the JFK Track Team after he graduated. Anyway I just wanted the family to know how much I liked him and how proud and lucky I was to have Steve in my life. Again my deepest condolences, he was truly an amazing guy,                   Drew Cohen (516) 318-4900

My sincere condolences Stephanie,  knowing Steve and Nick was one of my highlights of childhood.  They were both so talented and funny.  RIP.
