    Dear Family, We will always remember that abundance of kindness whenever we saw Steve around Cypress Island. His sense of humor was uplifting, and Steve could certainly entertain a crowd. He obviously will be missed by all his neighbors, our deepest sympathy. Kim & Michelle Caruso

    I will always cherish the special bond I had with my Uncle Steve, his stories, his laughter, and his love. I am so glad we stayed close and in contact by phone and visits. Though I miss him dearly, I have 52 years of memories in my heart. Uncle Steve always made the most of his time, and though I wish he was still here, he is now at rest and peace. I know Aunt Dolly and Uncle Steve will watch over us. Our heartfelt sympathies to cousins Victor and Stephen and their families.
