    Stephen was my neighbor, baseball team player, touch football team player and just an all round neighborhood pal when I was growing up in the ’50s. I will always have those fond memories. My most heartfelt condolences to his family

    To Steve’s family. Sorry to read that Steve has passed away. My mother (he knew her as Patricia Deegan) sold real estate as well and shared their love of antiques together. I remember him coming to her house and then, when she moved to Florida, when she came back to Rochester to visit, he would come to my house. May he rest in peace

    I knew Steve and his mother through years of antiquing at shops, auctions, estate and garage sales. He would always stop and have a word with me wherever we might meet. My sincere condolences to all of Steve’s family.

    We were next door neighbors to Steve for 5 years. Steve regularly surprise mowed our lawn, which was extra appreciated as the parents of two young kids. He was the neighbor you would wish for when moving to a new town (ER). I never know we graduated from the same high school, till now. He kept watch of our community, which was greatly appreciated. He will be missed.
