Thank you to both Blain and to Beachbiker for the news.
Steve was a close friend as we were growing up as kids, playing in the old nighborhood on Washington Avenue. Steve was a brave veteran of the "Cameron Avenue Wars" that were fought in the 60's. Some may remember the "breakout" from the garage in the alley. We stayed friends while Steve was stationed in the Coast Gaurd on Governors Island in NYC. Steve actually snuck me onto the island one night and I slept in the barracks till the next morning, while I was living in Manhattan.
Sadly we grew apart as our lives took different paths but I will always cherish the memories of our friendship and our days as members of "The Brush Mountain Club". Steve was always his own man and I admired his passion for the outdoors and adventure. He was always loved and will be missed by his true friends. Goodbye friend and may you find the peace you shared with the rest of us.
