He was more a brother to me than a cousin, his smile and laugh lit up the room, gone way too soon but will live on in great memories, I grew up side by side with this man- secrets we will carry to the grave, Hey Cuz-keep a place at the Friday night dinner table in heaven for me- I’ll get there eventually- glad Mom, Dad and Felice will be there for you now. I’ll keep an eye and ear open for Annette and the boys for you. I’ll miss you man- You were nothing but loved here on Earth. The family you have left behind is a lasting tribute/testimonial to your life here with us. You will never be forgotten. I have no bad memories of you- only great happy fun ones. It’s going to take some getting used to you not being here anymore, I’m trying to be strong, but its so darned hard.

Steven – I remember you as the brother of Felice (peace be upon her), Diane, and Irwin. We knew you all when we were kids in Skokie. We’d go to your house and listen to your mom on the radio talking with your dad at the spring shop (peace be upon them).
I remember you dating my sister Annette and having to drag me with you on dates.
I remember your wedding to Annette – I was a brides-matron!
I remember you as the proud father to Chris and Shawn – and rightfully so. Somehow they both look just like you.
I remember your cool cars, motorcycles, and warm hug.
I remember you sleeping at most of the holidays after we ate.
I miss you and always will.
