My most vivid memories – and Neal’s, too - of cousin Steve are from when we were young adults.
We worked together at HAP, and Steve was serious and meticulous. He was the Quality Assurance Manager for our nuclear ductwork construction work. In fact, in the aftermath of the Three Mile Island accident, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission taped Steve to literally write the rules for this kind of work. He was “the Man.” With all that, though, he was fun and fun-loving. He would pop into my office with a big smile and an upbeat attitude, bringing the sun into every day. I remember that he made realistic pipe cleaner figures of everyone in the office – a little piece of happy to get everyone started on the day.
In those years, Michael had a rowing machine in his basement and lots of friends and co-workers would stop over after work to do “a piece” on the machine. Steve kept a log of each of us worthy of any engineering project: date, time, distance, speed…and probably some other stuff. It was actually awesome.
There were trips to Lake George, parties, and get-togethers. Steve was never without his smile. He knew the precise time to say something funny, make an amusing observation, or just be silly. He was like that.
We are sad we lost touch with our cousin Steve over the years, but that fact does not diminish how we regarded him. He was a gentleman and a gentle man. He was a bright light. He will be missed.
ising our children made little time for bringing our families together, but we did enjoy a beautiful week with his family here and a week with mine there. I remember those times so fondly, but it wasn’t enough. Looking back, it wasn’t nearly enough. I was so looking forward to seeing my sweet, funny, goofy, weather reporting brother at Josh’s wedding. I still haven’t come to grips with losing him. In this crazy time, it all seems so especially unreal.

I will always carry my big brother in my heart. Even if I didn’t see him much in these last many years, he’ll always be special to me - he was the first born son, the eldest of us and he was my first friend. How I will miss what might have been with more time spent together.

Sweet dreams Steve. You rest now (you always worked so hard) and give Mom and Dad a big hug and kiss for me. Until we meet again...

I love you ❤️
