Man of faith
I had seen Steve many times at week day masses at IHM but never knew him. Then several months ago I saw him at the Nall walking toward me. We both recognized each other from church and started talking. His faith was so evident and his smile gave me such a warm feeling. Couldn’t believe his age!! He was one of the good guys and will be greatly missed. PBA from IHM
Uncle Steve
We met many years ago when I married into the Maher Family and saw each other though out the 60 years I’ve been a Maher. Then about 4 years ago he moved to Burlington, I knew about the move and soon ran across him at mass one Sunday….I came up and said “Hey Uncle Steve good to see you, I heard you had moved to Burlington.” He was 90 and I said how did you get to mass…”Well I drove, how did you get here” and that began a very special relationship that developed into a close bond between him and my family. We were together at least weekly and more often at times. We began a card group with in-laws of our granddaughter…and another close bond developed. He was a special person who drew you to him and your life became so much more enriched because of him. To say he will be missed is an understatement…he took a part of us with him but rest assured he is taking good care of it where he is now.

Uncle Steve and Aunt Betty were my godparents. I spent parts of many summers with them and my cousins. Bill and I so enjoyed your knowledge and stories of Independence. We will miss you but smile whenever we think of you!
