In memory of Stephen. I met Stephen through his wife Linda when they married.  Over the years, I would see them when they came in to L A to visit Linda's family.  He was such a techie.  He sent me his old computer which was my first! And he told me how to set it up. Many thank you's.  He's give tech advice to me over the years.  What I remember is his sense of humor.  He would post pictures of trips on Facebook with cryptic comments and sometimes he and Linda had not gone on those trips!  I fell for it each time.  I sent him socks, and white hankeys each Christmas. He made Linda's life richer.  I am sorry he had to go through a rough itme and know he is watching over Linda and flying free.  

I would like to offer my condolences to Linda and family…Steve and Linda are my neighbors…Steve was a wonderful awesome friend always ready to help you anyway he could I really appreciated his friendship over the years…Lorne wood….

Rest in peace my dear friend, thank you for 41 years of friendship, your guidance, advice and for always treating me as a family. I will forever be grateful for always checking up on me and my family.  Until we meet again….. Bertha 

Worked with Steve for many years and enjoyed having him as a boss.  He was a smart,   funny, warm human being who was passionate about his work and professional accomplishments and enjoyed sharing his knowledge with others.  Steve I can still hear you laugh and tell funny stories and also thank you for your support which allowed me to grow professionally  and learn the industry. 

Linda, I am so sorry for your loss and hope that the good memories help you at this d difficult time.  Sincerely ,



Steve, You were larger than life and had a laugh that was like no other.  You were anyways able to put  a smile on my face.  Thanks for caring so much for my family and for loving and being such a good friend to my parents.  The world was so much better because you were here and the world will never be the same now that you are gone.  I will miss our conversations my dear friend.  Rest in paradise Steve. 

My deepest condolences to you Linda.  Steve was as lucky to have you as you were to have him.  A light as bright as his doesn’t dim forever it just shines differently now.    I will be holding you close in love and peace as you navigate this difficult journey of the loss of someone so special.  

Much love Candace, Devin, Hannah, Logan, chef Rachel and Alex.  Xoxo ❤️

Linda,
        We are so sorry to have just learned of Steve’s passing. Although 
we never met Steve personally, we always enjoyed talking with him on the phone and reminiscing about the great food “on the hill” and in Boston.  We have stayed several times in your beautiful Maui home, and loved every moment. We hope that all of the wonderful memories you shared will bring you comfort during this most difficult 
time. 
With deepest sympathy,
Peggy and Howard Hague

So sad to lose a really good friend in Steve. He was a kind, thoughtful 
 and generous man with a great sense of humor and contagious laugh. He fought so hard to stay with us but we are so sorry that his challenges became insurmountable. May your spirit soar as we send our warmest, endearing support to Linda. 


Mario Facinelli and Family send our sincere sympathy to Linda  C. and family.  Mario so enjoyed Steve's frequent calls, jokes, and emails over these many years after the Celonas moved away from Northport. They had some great long distance laughs together and continued to be neighbors even if not on the same street in the same town.  Steve told Mario about Hawaii and gardening in Las Vegas, and Mario told Steve about the neighbors and neighborhood.  Steve always wanted to know - how is Mario doing?  At the end, Mario asked Linda C. the same about Steve.  May Steve rest in peace.  May Linda find grace to get through this sad time, her loss, and may she always remember Steve's best moments with her. 
L. Dodge, M. Facinelli, and family.
