My younger childhood years where full of beautiful memories of my Uncle Steve. I was blessed to have him as my God father as well. I remember him working at that gas station off Rocky River Drive and coming into Grandma’s kitchen all dirty from oil but still picked me up and gave me a big kiss and hug. I remember a special Christmas that he dressed up as Santa came to the house and woke me up to give me a special brown teddy bear with a red bow, I still have that teddy bear. I remember meeting Aunt Inese the very first time and spending a weekend with them after they where married when my parents went out of town. 2000

Uncle Stevie....
You were the funniest, loudest, most sincere and kindest man. You could make us all laugh, maybe you were being funny or maybe you were cleaning the grass because it had cake on it! I will never ever forget all your shenanigans growing up when we all lived together in lakewood. Our bike rides through the park and the valley. Working on the house. Scaring mom in the basement. You put sparks of joy in my childhood and I can never ever be grateful enough for that. The love you have for the girls, they always felt it... They had the BEST girl dad ever. There is so much the list could go on and on.... but that will be when we meet again. . Rest high, your work is done here.... I can't wait to see your face again one day! I love you so much, forever and always...
AGAIN
My dad was one of funniest, kindest, and weirdest guys I’ve ever know. He was the absolute best provider to my mom, sister, and I. He always made it his priority to take care of us. We were able to enjoy the finer things in life as kids like going on vacation and going to dinner together because of how hard he worked. (Well except when he took the mornings off at RTA to take hot dog orders). He loved his Harleys, classic cars, drag racing, and cheering on the Browns in 513 at the stadium. He really thought it was cool flashing the RTA badge at the rapid station to get us all on for free on our way to the game.
I will miss your smile and laugh. Your crazy names you would call us and your big bear hugs. Seeing the love you showed for Noah, and Noah reciprocating that love back to his Papa. I could go on and on.
Dad you were taken from us too soon. We love and miss you so very much. But I know that you are watching down on us. I take comfort thinking about all of our memories together and knowing that I now have a guardian angel protecting me. May you Rest In Peace and always know how loved you are. I love you Stevie.
